What is the best thing you have learned from a kid? Sometimes we don't pay much attention to kids opinion. but sometimes kids opinion works. maybe because we are no longer capable of thinking about basics like the kids do

Kids are energetic.They laugh or cry to the moment.Takes nothing to their head.They live at the moment.They feel happy towards simple things.Just a toffee,a small ride,a new toy ..........so simple things are enough to make kids happy.That is the quality I want to regain,I learn from kids.

Imagination, creativity, they are active they do not sit in a place they are always dancing, jumping, and this kids are so flexible where as an adult cannot do it. They are smart, innocent, and when they come up with an opinion that sometimes works, I was amazed, I was directing a kids play and I was not very satisfied with the kids action and one kid told me this might be a good Idea and I thought about it and implemented the idea and that play was a hit. I always love to be around kids.

I work with elementary aged kids at an after school program and I have two children of my own. I think the greatest thing I've ever learned about children is that they forgive and forget very easily. They don't usually hold grudges and stay mad for a long period of time like adults do. I think the forgive and forget trait is something more adults need to have and is something I need to practice.

I don't have kids, but my sister has 3 adorable kids; I learned a lot from them, as I watch them grow. The most amazing thing I've ever learned from small children is their ability to be happy; to laugh and find joy in the simplest things; I re-learn the art of having fun and laughing! It certainly help me de-stress after a hard day at work!
