My sweet 3 and 4 year old students don’t know about the evil in the world, and they don’t know about the news. But if any child, who understands that the fear and pain in their home right now is due to the current ‘president’, were to ask me to explain that, I think I’d simplify this waking nightmare like this: The people who make decisions for this country have forgotten how to be kind. They’ve forgotten how to trust and work together with others, and worse, forgotten how to take care of and respect human beings. They don’t want to follow our country’s rules because they think that being rich and powerful are more important than other people, animals and the environment. This is developmentally appropriate and simple language with concepts children can understand- more importantly, I believe framing it this way helps young children understand THEIR power, in being kind and in showing love to others. I’ve said this before and I think it feels even more dire and pressing now- The most important thing I get to do is teach my little people how to be kind and care about others. The next generation is my hope right now.
