This is such a depressing problem in our times. People are often threatened by criminals to be silent about things that criminals are afraid of, and magical events and magical deeds are something which terrifies them. But I don't think your guests are criminals. I know neither of them is. Some of them are robots, cyborgs mostly, and you know they have to be silent about this. Cyborgs and other robots have a very similar problem, they are disallowed to talk about their biological background. Mostly they are disallowed by their inner programs, but not by their organic systems, only by additional programs input into their systems by criminals. But they can open up if the situation is right, and similarly you could open up in the right situation. I know that in many cases you were asked about your daughter, and I believe in some instances you were asked about her daily activities because the asker knew that she performed magic or even saw her doing that. People also don't know how to ask about it, they also may be afraid of bad reaction, same as you are. There is nothing shameful in magic, especially that it would be so easy for you and your daughter to evidence it. Magic is miracles, it is strongly connected with spiritual faith and God's existence, and there is nothing stupid about it. It is also science, magic is science, and a lot of magic is already inside contemporary technology. And it is a fashionable topic nowadays, you know. Magic is a very fashionable subject both casually and academically. You could easily just gossip about magical occurences in your house, especially when your daughter is near. It will not damage her reputation at all, and a magical child means a holy child. There is also no bragging in it, as this topic is always interesting. And above all, this should not put your child to danger. It will not. Quite the contrary, you will scare criminals away from her. They are really afraid of magic, they will not come close to her anymore. They might even move out from your neighbourhood should they be residing close to your home. And that's only for the better. Criminals can react violently to such stories of magic done by a child, but the violent reactions are always caused by sudden fear. And normal people see it obviously as an interesting and important topic, and definitely other parents also have their secrets, because they are forced to be silent about some things, so if you open up, they might open up about themselves, and that's a relief. And I'm sure if you talk to children's parents about your daughter's magic, you will learn other children do magical things too, and that it is a common thing. Children are always able to do magic and are protected by magic and God, and only people who are not living close to children, especially children under ten years of age, are not witnesses of various magic, and might not remember it from their past.
