Images about adults

Today was my birthday and one child, asked me; are you going to give us chocolates? and continued telling, only children give chocolates for birthdays and adults don’t.

Then I said, I am giving chocolates today. Another child who was seated next to me immediately said, She is not a child.

I wondered about the images children have about adults. How are these images formed. Is it by observing the repeated patterns in the adult’s behaviour, verbal and nonverbal expressions and the day to day activities and how adults responds and so on….

I enjoyed wondering and being with my thoughts about the images children have about adults. Curious to learn more about the images children have about adults and how adults can become aware of the images that children make about them.
