What Adults Can Learn from Kids

Adora Svitak, the speaker in this video What Adults Can Learn from Kids, claims that the world needs more “childish” thinking. Watch and listen, and see if you agree.


When I was a kid, all I wanted was to be an adult. I never really was good at being a kid, and now that I am an adult, I often forget what it's like to be a kid. "Childish" usually has a negative connotation, but there can be benefits too. I know that I have much to learn from my students. What do you think adults can learn from kids?

I think adults can learn to be creative , loose , and free from kids . Being 'childish' shouldn't be a negative thing because kids are loose & very energetic

Adults could learn lots of things from kids. Like, having fun every once in a while or to just let loose your 'inner kid' and not stress out about every little thing. Thats why I actually like being a kid. I don't wanna grow up.. :/

Adults can learn from kids how to have a fun time but still be able to maintain a job and life. Having a job relates a lot to teens that can drive and be able to go places on their own time.

Nowadays adults are very stressed out from paying bills and other adult type stuff they can learn to be care free and be loose.

Adults can learn a few things from kids, but one that really sticks out to me is that adult's style. Like what Mrs. Coleman does. She told me. :)
