Enjoyed this Immensely. Off to find that book. Totally agree. Im always shocked when we go to Spain or Portugal (insert any number of countries) and find our kids are welcomed in restaurants and bars like they are actual human beings. In some places in the UK dogs are more welcome than my kids and it drives me mad
Thank you so much! Yes, and traveling to these places makes you realize how easy it really would be to be more inclusive. Doesn't need to be fancy- just a few things in their size and something to occupy their hands. Here in the US it's the same way- dogs are 100% more welcome, haha, i wonder why that is.
My kid brings her own little cart to the local grocery store because they don’t happen to provide them for kids. The looks we get! she handles herself really well there, and some people look down right irritated that she’s shopping. Even in these child-centric places you have authoritative parents and silly rules blocking kids from being themselves fully… Childism makes me sick and it is everywhere.
Awwww I love that she brings her own cart 😂100% society’s contempt for kids jumps out everywhere, maybe the more child centric the space claims to be the more it stands out
Wow great point… I never noticed that before. Instead of ending childism, we just have these fantasy spaces where kids can enjoy a world of their own. And kids live in their imaginations cause they can’t participate in the real world!!!
