There are so many things that we can learn from children. From the way that they interact with their friends to the way that they always are dreaming big, children are a joy to be around. In my experience working closely with them, there are five things that I've learned:
1. They're incredibly warm-hearted.
They are always ready to help out a friend in need and want to make sure everyone and everything are okay. If they're not okay, they want to be part of the solution. The people they love are above all in their lives.
2. Friends are easy for them to make.
Unlike adults or even teenagers, kids have it incredibly easy when it comes to making friends. They don't care about anything other than the fact that they want to play and talk to other people their age.
3. They don't lie.
It's true. It's hard for them to lie because they don't have that filter in their brains that tell them they shouldn't say something. In other words, they'll tell you how it is. If they don't like you, they let you know. But if they do like you, they also let you know. Which is always nice.
4. They use their imagination.
Let's face it, as we get older, our imagination goes away. We have a hard time pretending when we know what's really going on in the world. Kids don't care, they have no idea what's happened beyond their toys. To be young again.
5. They're genuinely hilarious.
From falling all the time and telling jokes that make no sense, to making funny faces and finding a way to make everyone laugh from nothing, you'll think they're all natural born comedians!
