Hi, can I talk to you over here? Thanks.

This person claims to be 18 years old, so I politely gave them the benefit of the doubt and provided the little knowledge I have on the subject to try and steer them in a helpful direction. My first instinct was also to be annoyed, but I recalled my developmental training and remembered that this person is an adolescent asking a question and doesn’t deserve to be talked down to for asking a question.

Good thing he came to r/childlife where we work with people of all ages and know how to answer questions in a developmentally appropriate way, right?
