Avoid the pitfalls of labelling kids - by Michael Grose

People are natural labellers. We’re quick to categorise others, particularly when they hold different views to ourselves. Terms such as ‘racist’, ‘feminist’ and ‘socialist’ are used liberally at the moment.

The trouble with placing a label on a person is that it stops us from thinking too deeply about what they’re saying and prevents us from understanding who they really are. It’s hard to see beyond the label.
