    Teaching children about love “love is love”

    The concept of "love is love" beautifully underscores the universality of love, yet its simplicity can overlook the complex ways love manifests. The ancient Greeks defined eight types of love—ranging from eros (romantic love) to agape (selfless, unconditional love)—each serving unique purposes in human relationships. While teaching children about love is vital, not all forms are age-appropriate. For instance, teaching storge (familial love) or philia (friendship) nurtures empathy and connection, but exposing children to eros (erotic love) crosses developmental boundaries and risks confusion. Events like “Drag Queen Story Hour” or explicit Pride parade displays highlight the need for safeguarding childhood innocence, ensuring love is taught responsibly and within the context of their understanding.
