So much to this topic — innocence, proper formation of children, proper parenting, even what determines what is right and what is wrong.
That last topic is perhaps the most important. What decides how a child ought to be taught? (I think of CS Lewis’ “Abolition of Man” and all that says on the topic.)

Well, ask anyone what determines right and wrong.
For kicks, ask ChatGPT. The little engine that will — almost with animated vigor — condemn the anti-trans agenda cannot find in its language model what determines right and wrong.
Christianity has an answer. And it’s a good one. But what are the foundations readily accessible to any adult — even the Nones?
It just so happens to be nature itself — human nature. Not the fallen one, but the noble one. The almost praeternatural one.
Sarah points out correctly that this “adult talk” with the very young is a corruption. That is, it ruptures the very person who is the audience. Our nature is not made for perversions, and no amount of attempting to train ourselves or our children otherwise will work.
That is, these corruptions are a piece with Marxism — which, at its core, denies human nature.
“Why have the nations ragged and the peoples devised vain things?” Ps 2

Why indeed?
Because they reject what they are.
