Sounds like a good learning experience. Kids learn more from how adults behave than from what adults tell them. They don't need to understand complex reality to have an experience of it.
And kids, like other vulnerable groups, tend to be on the hard end of political decisions. So if conditions are growing more difficult for children to grow into thriving adults, they'd be amongst the ones to be impacted first.
Of course the lesson learnt might be "our voices aren't heard no matter what we do". We'll have to see.
