Some of these kids just don't plain know how good they are: how smart and how much they have to say. You can tell them. You can shine that light on them, one human interaction at a time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Kids are smart. Knowledge is power. Let them figure things out. Don't turn into that grown-up who they won't come to.
Each kid has a different level of expertise and some of them are very raw and inexperienced and some are incredibly mature and experienced. So you just have to go with what they are rather than have some abstract technique that you're going to try to apply to them.
As kids do, they're smart, and even if parents try to keep things away from them, conflict and issues and whatnot, kids pick up on what's happening.
Children are very smart, in their own stupid way. A child's brain is like a sponge, and you know how smart sponges are.
Children are far more interesting to work with than grownups. They're incredibly honest. They'll tell you exactly what they think.
Give your kid some credit for being smart - just because they read about something doesn't mean they will do it.
Kids are no fools: they're very sophisticated, they don't miss a lot; they don't miss nuance.
If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.
I think children have talent and insight, but it gets beaten out of them.
It's crazy how intelligent kids can be at a very young age and how they know what they know.
