Underestimating Children's Intellect and Feelings
Parents and older generations often underestimate children's intellect and feelings, leading to a blind spot in understanding their awareness and emotions. It is crucial not to overlook the brilliance of children's nervous systems, acknowledging that they might not be intellectually ready for complex information but are still aware of underlying issues. Finding a balance in communicating with children about family problems involves acknowledging their feelings, addressing basic observations openly, and providing age-appropriate information while maintaining boundaries on adult issues.
