You know when children are growing up and they are going through a hard time but don't have the expressions for it, it doesn't mean they aren't feeling those things. The best thing adults can do is help them along with "Are you feeling sad because you lost your rubber ducky?" (and they nod with pouting lips), and questions like that so they can develop vocabulary for their emotions. It's called giving them emotional tools. It helps them process what they are going through better. The Family tried to raise a whole generation of disempowered children without the tools to express themselves, or fight for themselves.
