“He who mocks the infant's faith”

William Blake

Simplified Meaning:

Making fun of a child's belief or trust can be harmful. When kids believe in something, like Santa Claus or fairy tales, it's a sign of their innocence and a part of growing up. Laughing at these beliefs can hurt their feelings and damage their trust. It's important for children to have these experiences and learn in their own time what's real and what's not. Instead of mocking, we should support and guide them gently. For example, if a child believes in the Tooth Fairy, let them enjoy the magic while they're young, and when the right time comes, help them understand the truth without making them feel bad.
