Risk suffering from that dreaded eye disease
"Butt ugly bump and grinditis!"
I live in the country now, and experienced farm life growing up at the grandparents. Understanding the cycles and circles of birth, life and death was beneficial. While I disagree with "bringing your child to bed with you" I think a healthy amount of exposure in nature is a good thing.
As children are old enough to process it, they will start asking questions. Just answer what they ask and let them process it at their own speed.
I'm grateful for the "non perverted", and or the "non puritan" approach my grandparents took, just a matter of "facts of life" at age appropriate times.
However I should note, every chicken / pig kill was a science project with Grandma, dissection and organ identification.
Life in its most elegant form.
