lily, theres a thing called show dont tell. you're a writer, you brainlet.
If you're discussing animals with a kid and you say 'ohh by the way in a zoo you might see an anteater' an animal not commonly represented in media, a kid's just going to look at you with a puzzled look. you can describe how an anteater looks/acts/ sounds to the best of your abilities but they wont graspt what the animal is until you show a video, image/soundclip of it.
A kid is not going to know what gay, bisexual, transgender, lesbian, queer, whatever means because they have no concept of these words.
A kid is going to notice something when a boy kisses a boy and that's the first time they've ever seen it. they may ask questions-because kids are curious individuals, and THEN you say 'ohh yeah they're gay. wh A relationship between to males is known as a gay relationship' then the kid can apply a word to a concept they've witnessed.
kids don't understand words unless you show examples. It's 'baby's first books' tend to be a cartoon picture of an animal with the name of it displayed underneath in big bold writing.
maybe this is something stupid to harp on but lily claims she's worked with kids in the past, but this is basic how to teach kids 101. you show first, then you explain afterwards (or tell if you like). Not tell and expect them to know. Imagine telling a kid something, they don't get it and instead of showing an example you say 'tough shit jimmy, just told you the word you dumbass'.
