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 âdifficultâ 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 theyâre in a world they had no prior concept of, and are subject to an uncontrollable amount of stimuli every waking momentâŚ. I still believe theyâre handling it all fairly well.
This conference made me realize how much of a passion I have for destigmatizing childhood behaviors. Thereâs a sort of âAhh..â moment that people come to when they see that children actually have reasons for everything they do, that they shouldnât be viewed as underdeveloped âfunctioningâ adults but should instead be recognized as humans in a separate yet equally important stage of life.
Iâve also been doing some work in researching and writing about children as an oppressed class, Iâm finding ways to incorporate my previous sentiments into that.
