Although 'directed towards' is used, 'aimed at' or 'targeted at' are more usual.

I agree with Edwin. Note that if it's a message then it is common to see "directed at children."

Thank you. The text is a textbook. Would that change the way you would articulate the sentence?

I agree with Edwin. Because any text of articulation at a higher percentage ranking is going to be directed towards the children because someone of a lower ranking fears being overruled by a higher grouping of individuals.
