Miku has something for you 💝

The talk I gave tonight was primarily about how babies, as well as young children, experience hyperconsciousness, something that is often considered one of the main reasons why children at these stages are ‘difficult’ to handle.

Kids man, they encompass some of the most phenomenal thought processes and it is all driven by the fact that this whole world is completely new to them. If you want to see abstract ideas constructed in a matter of seconds, talk to a child. Their grasp is unbelievable.

Even if you feel that children whine, cry, and scream too much… in considering how they’re in a world they had no prior concept of, and are subject to an uncontrollable amount of stimuli every waking moment…. I still believe they’re handling it all fairly well.

This conference made me realize how much of a passion I have for destigmatizing childhood behaviors. There’s a sort of ‘Ahh..’ moment that people come to when they see that children actually have reasons for everything they do, that they shouldn’t be viewed as underdeveloped ‘functioning’ adults but should instead be recognized as humans in a separate yet equally important stage of life.

I’ve also been doing some work in researching and writing about children as an oppressed class, I’m finding ways to incorporate my previous sentiments into that.

OP really singles out that stubborn refusal to recognize babies and kids as Human People dealing with extreme new stimuli All The Time, Forever and hits the nail on the head, huh. And yet they’re so right, bc kids are handling that situation with a lot more grace than you might expect!!! Kids would be justified in freaking out way more than they do, in all honesty.

and not to lighten things up too much with a joke but i really feel like anyone who still hasn’t grown out of the propensity to bitch about kids doing xyz “annoying” thing in public without any sense of sympathy for what that kid’s going through should have this tweet tattooed into their eyelids:

Soldiers of Paradis - Warriors of Marley
