Kids’ talk
When I was a kid, I always see adults tell us not to mingle with the business they have. Though I understood what they were saying, they would not mind us and even tell us to go away and just watch the television. I was so curious of the reasons why they don’t let me talk with them. As I grew, I realized that there are certain things that children are allowed to know and talk about with their parents and with other adults.
Not everything in the planet they can ask about and explained by the adults for the mind of the kids are too young to understand. This is what society states about the adult and youth conversations. But the bible tells us that we must be open to the youth group in our generation (Joshua 4). For they will learn from the mistakes of the old ones. They will know what they would do and avoid whatever things they will be undergoing in the future. Also clarity must be presented to the young ones. Everything must be explained and not just be left ambiguous. Ambiguity results to mistakes and almost all the times results to misinterpretation or multiple interpretations that results almost all the time to senseless talk or unproductive conversations.
A lot had been discussed when I was young and up until know, there are some cases that the people of old age around me had not considered to talk about with me. There are still walls that are built between me and the old ones. The age we are in had assigned caste systems in conversations. Our society had regulated what the things of certain age can talk about. I think this is not proper, for growth must not be dictated as one is getting days older. Sometimes stunning of oneself can be experienced by the people if they are limited. But on the other hand it also conveys the security for proper growth. That only the good stuffs can be absorbed by the children and this regulation can help them understand in a process that is healthy. This process maybe the result of all the experiences of the old ones in their youth. There is much wisdom in this caste system of conversation. However, it still violates the right of transparency for every young people. They are limited in understanding the things around them and thus results to less development of the potentials of the youth.
I do consider that there is much experience and wisdom integrated in the decision of the old people in not letting the youth to know everything but I also believe that we as children must search and pursuit the understanding of everything with the help of the adults and a good start is to ask the right questions. Building a wall in between the youth and the adults in terms of the conversing action should not be allowed but regulation must be implemented. Explaining the actions in a manner that can be easily understood and direct can help the youth know more in a healthy way and not exposing them much to the anger and the negativistic world. Also the integration of biblical principles in the core of the talk and eventually in the persona of the children can help them a lot in talking things out.
