Kids are a lot more in tune and in touch than most people give them credit for.
Thanks for volunteering yourself to demonstrate my point, and at the same time giving an example of exactly why open and honest conversations with other adults in a public widely viewed forum are important. Well done.
You’ve lost me. Are you saying that children have something new and interesting to bring to the table of political discussion, or that it’s somehow interesting to hear an adults opinion in a child’s voice?
interesting to hear an adults opinion in a child’s voice?
lol what? 😂😂😂
Your previous statement demonstrates that you don’t give kids any credit. It also provides an example of exactly why kids should have more space to have open conversations about politics because yes, they absolutely would have new and interesting things to bring to the table, and it they are in a situation where they are being manipulated by one or a small group of adults and is parroting their opinions back, to provide them different opinions and the space to talk them through.
It’s good for children to see these conversations, and the challenges to them, which gives both the child talking and any children watching the idea that what they think and know is worth bouncing off other adults and discussing to get a better position, and their perceptions colored by what their parents have taught them are worthy of consideration.
But that’s not always the case. Plenty of kids can take in media or just life observations and make their own conclusions, it’s true though a lot of their views are just what their hear from adults around them. I think that’s true of adults too to a lesser extent.
Or they parrot whatever an influential adult in their lives has said to them.
