Children typically learn their ABC’s at 4 or 5 years old. At that age it remains the responsibility of the village around them to protect them from anything that would harm them.

A number of people have requested parenting tips from my parents, Dr and Mrs Iles.

The Australian Christian Lobby holds that governments should help - not hinder - that parental authority by protecting children.
