Maybe we can learn from our grandchildren. It is their future we should be trying to build.

You may be imposing your own wishful thinking as you under-estimate the ignorance and innocence of your grandson. Children learn what they live and one of their talents is perceiving things that are unsaid through gestures, vocal tones, facial expressions, and even their perceptions of others’ emotional stress. Very young infants often correctly demonstrate their perceptive abilities when reading and reacting to their mother or other primary caregiver as they mirror them.
