Tremendous, Emily! I love this so much! I’ve said many times your kids are going to change the world - but they already are!

So good, Emily. So good.

I have been astounded by what my kids want to know and are capable of knowing (age appropriate).

We infantilise them like we do animals - both are capable of much more than we often give credit.

Also - neither should be talked to in a baby voice. Irritating AF. Lol.

100%!!! And so well articulated, thanks. Kids are not the sum of 'what they'll grow up to be'. They are the here and now.

I love this! So positive and affirming. A group of us have been doing local environmental action for some years, always involving children. Your article expresses so well the wider effects of this.
