How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.

All children are much more intelligent than they are told they are or the school thinks they are; they just have different intelligences.

It's crazy how intelligent kids can be at a very young age and how they know what they know.

Children are smarter than any of us. Know how I know that? I don't know one child with a full time job and children.

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.

Most kids are smarter than most grown-ups. Kids see the world in black and white... They look through all the garbage and see a world run by fools and dullards and lazy people. And there's nothing they can do about it because they have no power.

Give your kid some credit for being smart - just because they read about something doesn't mean they will do it.

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.

Kids are smart. Knowledge is power. Let them figure things out. Don't turn into that grown-up who they won't come to.

Kids are different from adults. They are not as developed as far as brain science, controlling impulses, and maturity, and fall prey to all kinds of pressures.
