So whilst we are on the topic of best albums from classic Glasgow Bands - let's just clear it up once and for all ... It's Songs From Northern Britain !
Some kids see straight through the things which others don’t. They see the power structures between adults and children, and ask why the adult gets to give out the stickers (and decide who gets them) whilst the children have to wait. They see how unfair it is that adults can say ‘that’s enough cake’ and expect to be obeyed but if a child says that to an adult, they’ll be laughed at. They see how adults say ‘we can’t afford a new toy’ but then spend money on the things they want. And they point it out.
They are exceptionally clear sighted. This doesn’t make childhood easy. For childhood depends on a degree of accepting ‘this is just how things are’. It requires you to not ask questions and instead to follow the crowd. It requires you to keep listening even if you think it’s a waste of your time. To sit where everyone else is sitting, and to look in the same direction, and put your hand up and not to say ‘no thanks, I’d rather hang upside down over there’
Getting through childhood requires children to ignore what they see or pretend they didn’t notice. And some children just can’t do that. They see the world so clearly, and they can’t let things lie. They are the truth tellers and that isn’t easy to live with. They have a tough time at school because they always ask Why?
But when we listen rather than telling them to be quiet, their perspective challenges us to think deeper. Not to do things ‘because that’s just how it is’. They open up a new way of seeing the world to those around them. They provoke change wherever they go.
To have a clear-sighted child is a gift, even though it can take a while to appreciate your luck. The hardest job as their parents?
To resist the voices telling us that we should make every effort to cloud their vision.
