ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Adultcentrism

Adultcentrism is like when grown-ups (or adults) forget that children also have important thoughts and feelings. It's like when they think that only their opinions matter because they are older and wiser. This can make kids feel little and like their ideas don't matter. It's important for adults to remember that kids are smart too and should be included in discussions and decision-making.
