Sunday’s Food for Thought : Beyond what we can see today
What do you see when you see little children?
Whether we realise it or not, the way we regard little ones will greatly determine how we treat them, consciously and unconsciously.
If we see children as ‘understanding nothing’ and ‘capable of doing little things though they ask about big things’, then we’ll have a tendency to (verbally and non-verbally) trivialise their actions, contributions and thoughts.
