I was just writing a story and out of nowhere I started pondering about the structure how children’s books are written in a way as if kids are how should I say it…ignorant? Stupid? Lack a certain awareness? In a way that doesn’t honor them as a being, as a human being that has something beautiful to offer to the world?

Do you know what I mean? Notice almost all children’s books the format. I Mean look at children how easily they pick up better than anyone the use of cell phones, computers, apps, complex video games, and then they have these children stories as if they are talking to an ignorant. They are not mature, in a way its enforcing immaturity. Are they ignorant? Or are they aware? These books in some ways are condescending and I am not saying that just because I write children stories I am even not just talking about children’s books I am talking about people’s attitudes in general towards children. Is it more the adults lacking the awareness? I wonder…lacking the awareness of recognizing each person’s potential, putting people once again into boxes, all kids are like this, there is a certain age for this, all women are like this, all men are like this, you have to talk to a woman this way (no sorry you have to talk to me as me not a woman), a certain race this way, an older or younger person this way…
