Yeah. People don’t want to admit that it’s only the adults that struggle to understand these things.

As someone studying child psychology and linguistics, I’ve become increasingly aware of how much society underestimates the comprehension skills of kids. They are able to pick up and understand a lot more than we assume and this is a great example of that!

I almost always talk to children as an equal (except certain/obvious scenarios) and it’s so easy. It’s not hard to treat them with respect and care about their emotions and pains. People wonder why I don’t struggle to babysit. It’s because I’m not an asshole, I’m just the adult making sure they don’t get a table edge through the forehead lol
