Usually children aren’t given the most credit for being wise or smart due to their extremely short amount of experience in the world. Their views are often based on little knowledge, not well thought out as to the long-term effects that their suggestions would have on the real world..

There are exceptions to this. Recently in a conversation I was having, the child I was speaking with brought up that they really disliked religious discussions at school. They felt that given the amount of religions out there that people need to be more tolerable of other people and not force their thoughts and beliefs on others. To further the statement, this particular child said there was only 1 person that they needed to believe in - themself. THEY were in charge of what they did. THEY were the ones to get in trouble or not get in trouble. They showed a great deal of pride in taking credit for their accomplishments or failures instead of calling for help from someone or something - or blaming it on someone or something. They also found it frustrating that others could not understand this concept (not “embrace it”, but just to “understand” it).

There are times that society could learn from children, this would be one of them.
