The problem is that it's well meaning but slightly misguided... You can't teach a child under around the age of 11 certain aspects of empathy and abstract thought / logic. It doesn't matter how many times you go over it, the brain isn't physically fully developed, it's literally not possible.
Its easy to forget that though and that's what makes kids really frustrating. Especially at like 8/9/10... When they're getting bigger, and smarter, and TALK almost like adults, but their reasoning is
just bat**** crazy but they can't comprehend why no one is believing them
