Can we stop saying children are resilient? It’s not resilience, we’re just forcing them to deal with difficult things and they deal with it because they have no power and no choice in the matter.
Thinking what this generation of children will say about their childhood in 20 years.
We have no capacity to understand what the impact of this pandemic will be on them.
Stop dismissing their misery and their pain by praising their resiliency.
Listen. Empathize. Help.

Thank you @edutopia for this reminder/resource edutopia.org/article/6-ways…
There’s a lot children are not telling us. Savvy enough to know what adults want to hear, they’ve learned to avoid raising topics that would cause conflict or pain. They hide their own sadness to protect us.
We need to make it abundantly clear that they can be real with us.
