There are many hardships no children should ever be exposed to, to protect their psyches. I don't believe children can truly learn from a hardship that I experienced, until they themselves have an adult perspective, and in fact it could harm their emotional development. They can learn behaviors from me on how to react to certain circumstances, but I don't think they can truly learn how not to make the same mistakes in the same given circumstances until they are old enough to be considered mentally adult themselves. Some children mature faster than others, and I believe emotional maturity is the basis of how that question should be answered. They shouldn't be explosed to it unless they themselves are mentally mature as an adult would be. Each person is different, but this age is somewhere around 16 or 17 for most people.
