Children are blessed with extremely low standards when it comes to what they regard as fun or funny.

We envy toddlers the most for pretty much always living fully in the present moment, and for having the courage to laugh for absolutely no reason.

Adults often treat each other as children, and children as adults.

If we had to earn our age by thinking for ourselves at least once a year, only a handful of people would reach adulthood.

Most parents make or have made the mistake of never allowing their children to make their own mistakes.

Some technologies have made it possible for one to travel to the other side of the world in order to see something, whereas some technologies have made that unnecessary: if it were not for things such as the camera and the internet, some African boys would have never seen a Chinese woman’s vagina.

It is through the child’s eyes and ears, not genes, that he or she gets, from his or her parents, things such as humility and intolerance.

The pleasure children get from playing is way more intense, and lasts way longer, than the one adults get from being paid.

Most children have been cursed with parents who have forgotten the joy of walking barefoot.
