Are kids smarter than adults? All evidence points to that being true.

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

Children are very smart, in their own stupid way. A child's brain is like a sponge, and you know how smart sponges are.

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

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

I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?

If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses.

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.

I am not sure that I am that smart. I think we work harder. When I was at university, there were a lot of smarter people than me, and they seem not to have done quite so well.

The science can tell you that the thousands of pseudo-scientific parenting books out there - not to mention the 'Baby Einstein' DVDs and the flash cards and the brain-boosting toys - won't do a thing to make your baby smarter. That's largely because babies are already as smart as they can be; smarter than we are in some ways.
