Adults are often conditioned to assume that they need to teach the impressionable minds of children lest they be permitted to wander. But, wait a minute! How often have you, as an adult, asked yourself what you can learn from a child? Its never to late to learn:
1) children instinctively know how to be happy in the moment for no reason
2) children dream with no limits
3) children find meaning in choosing to be busy
4) children find it easy to nurture unwavering faith in what they do not see
5) children realize sometimes its necessary to struggle in order to learn
6) children sense value in honesty and are apt to say what they mean
7) children find ways to make sense of what is happening but do not strive to explain it

My conversations with children are often unforgettable. My four year old niece once told me that if I knew God so well, why didn't I know his last name?
