It would be an interesting experiment to play an open hand. If they raise it, you explain your reasons. Might be naive (I don't have kids)
I've been trying to teach 8 yo a fairly complete list of all the ways people manipulate one another. I'm a little nervous in case I still need any as a parent.

Having kids has taught me one thing. Don't give them the keys to the asylum.

My personal theory on kids is they don't have the full capacity for ethical thinking we should keep ideas and things from them till they're at the age they can comprehend. I wonder what age it is for each life lesson. Graham has a way of making you think about these things

Maybe. The problem is that I'd have to keep updating it, because I'd be sure to forget some. So I'd end up the maintainer of an online encyclopedia of manipulation, which might not be ideal, because then I'd be thinking about it all the time.
