My district sent out like 5 super long emails about our commitment to democracy and counseling kids in these troubled times

Truly no child I spoke with cared/understood it and most were aping the behavior modeled by their parents

same was true on 911 tbh. kids don't know how to react to stuff they see on tv that's supposed to be important news until someone tells them

Oh yeah. Lots of kids below late high school don't have the processing/experiential capacity to attach a lot of weight to events like Jan 6th or 9/11, so they model the behavior of adults and use those to guide their responses. I mean, lots of adults clearly also don't have the skills to process big political events, but expecting a child to do so is begging to be disappointed.
