kids missing what the teacher says because they’re excited about that new toy they got is kids being kids. kids not wanting to read something because it is boring is kids being kids. kids delaying bed time because they want to stay up late just for the fun of it is kids being kids.
but when a kid slowly starts to hate themselves because they feel like they just can’t function like everyone else around them it is not kids being kids.
kids not being able to pay attention to what the teacher says because their mind keeps distracting them is NOT kids being kids. kids not wanting to read anything because it involves too much mental effort is NOT kids being kids. kids not being able to sleep because they’re too restless to even think of falling asleep is NOT kids being kids.
don’t claim that it is just kids being kids when what the kid is experiencing are symptoms which would benefit from treatment and make the kid’s life much easier
