Episode Description from the Publisher

We often assume that childhood is simple.That children are too young to understand responsibility, judgment, respect or the struggles adults carry.But after this conversation, we’re not so sure.We sat down with children and asked them questions about the things many adults rarely stop to think about.What does respect really mean?Why do people judge us?What makes someone a good person?What does success mean?And when do you really start growing up?Their answers were simple.But the thoughts behind them weren't.They spoke about their parents’ sacrifices.About taking responsibility at home.About being teased for wearing glasses or looking different.About wanting to make their parents proud.About love, respect, money, success and the kind of person they hope to become.This conversation isn't really about children.It's about how we learn to see ourselves, other people and the world around us.And sometimes, the simplest answers make us question the things we thought we already understood.
