Global Native parents teach their children to think before they speak by making them notice people who don't. It is a family game! |
93% in Germany, 92% in the UK, 88% in Chile, 78% in Japan, 86% in France, 96% in Sweden ... These are the percentages of children naming President Trump first when asked to think of someone who does not think before speaking. This is a first intermediate result looking at a total of 12.000 entries.
"Frankly, I am appalled!" Dr. Michael Wu, the psychologist who invented the game to support parents in promoting awareness and mindfulness, is quite overwhelmed. "If one of the world's highest ranking politicians is perceived this way by 5 to 15 year olds, how can these kids have faith and confidence in the people who run the country? We urgently need to give them role models they can accept and respect!"
The stories submitted so far have been true eye-openers for Dr. Wu and his team. They demonstrate once again that parents, teachers and adults in general are under much more scrutiny than they think. And that kids worldwide have a great sense of humour and a high level of tolerance for the mistakes and weaknesses of the grown up world.
"Spot the bla bla!"
