Alison Curtis: Sometimes it’s OK to wear our emotional hearts on our sleeves

"Literally, no one would know how to deal with a 43-year-old flipping out in Aldi if their favourite product was out of stock but no one looks twice when a four-year-old is rolling in the aisle kicking up a stink."

CHILDREN don’t have filters. You can clearly see when they are sad or happy. They have unfiltered reactions to the happenings around them. If someone upsets them, they don’t worry about upsetting them back by telling them they have hurt their feelings.

They don’t worry about seeming silly if they let out an ear-piercing laugh in front of others, they just do it.
