How is this "Speaking for others"? OP provided their perspective in comments. You having a different perspective is valid and is not threatened by the point of view of OP.

That's speaking for the child. Speaking for someone else's feelings besides your own is speaking for others. And, it's not a perspective either, it's an opinion how someone else would feel in the situation, which is NOT a different perspective you can hold, given you aren't the other person.

Stick to what you know, is the basic lesson.
