Queen, happy and chaos among children's top words for 2022 Curiously
Queen has been voted the Children’s Word of the Year after the country mourned the loss of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Nearly half of the children surveyed chose Queen as their number one word. The OUP said the findings highlight that the news has an impact on children and they absorb the language around current events.When asked why they chose Queen, many children cited sadness and loss as well as feelings of pride in relation to the late monarch. For most youngsters, the Queen's passing was their first time experiencing the death of a monarch.
While more than half of girls questioned chose the word Queen, this was lower for boys at 39%. The OUP report suggests the difference between the sexes could be because the Queen provided “an important female role model” for girls, or that they could “relate to her more readily”.
