I have all of the answers

At least that's what I'm going to pretend.  I'm the adult, right?  I should have all of the answers.

Actually, we shouldn't.  I think our kids are a lot smarter and a lot more creative than we give them credit for.  I think we can learn a lot more by listening to them than we can by telling them what we think.

See, the problem is that we've already been tainted.  We've already bought into the status quo.  We already believe the lie about fitting in.  Our kids, on the other hand, have a fresh perspective on life.  They see things that we don't because the world is still amazing to them.

I think we have a lot to learn from our children.  But first, we have to admit that we don't have all of the answers.
