“A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children's speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie…. Children have been treated … as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.”
– Beatrix Campbell, British journalist.
Do we hear the voices of the worlds children? If we are not listening, then we are not hearing the voices of the furture, and who has more input into the future than they who will inherit it. Children often look at the world with more clarity than adults, they see not only the reality, but the posiblity of change. Children look forward, while as adults we tend too often to look back. If we are to make true and lasting change in our world then we must begin by listening to our children.
