What adults can learn from kids
My brother linked me to this:
Child prodigy Adora Svitak says the world needs "childish" thinking: bold ideas, wild creativity and especially optimism. Kids' big dreams deserve high expectations, she says, starting with grownups' willingness to learn from children as much as to teach.
I don't agree with everything she says and I had a couple of "yes, but you live in the USA" moments, but it's definitely worth listening to.
