"If you agree with something, then explain why you're sticking to it," the teacher said.
The children thought about these words for a long time. They had their own personal convictions, children's opinions varied on different issues.
Once Sophie read a story about how to act in a life situation. There people talked about their decision at that moment. With some she agreed, and with some she didn't, but little Sophie didn't condemn anyone.
Another girl decided to express her opinion in writing. She saw only one side of the situation.
People talked her that everything wasn't so one sided and asked for arguments about statements. Little girl had her own point of view, she didn't want to change it. Her arguments were opinion based.
But after a while, a more mature young woman explained everything to her. Also, she told the little girl how to argue and make arguments.
"How instructive that is." Sophie thought.
Now, before she says ore writes something, Sophie always asks adults.
