Learnings from Children
1. Equality
You won't ever see a child discriminating against anyone on the basis of cast, color, race, financial status or religion. This is the first thing that we should learn from children, to make ourselves better people and this world, a better place.
2. Inquisitiveness
In children, the urge to learn never ceases. They are always inquisitive and curious about how things work, why they work the certain way and stuff like that. We should learn to be inquisitive because there is so much to learn in this world that one lifetime isn't enough.
3. Being Carefree
Have you ever seen a child worrying about what someone will think if he speaks or dresses a certain way? Being carefree is bliss and one of the first few things that we forget as we grow up. We need to remember how happy we used to be when we had no care what others thought about us.
4. Creativity
Remember the first ever drawing that you did, or the first ever lie that you so beautifully and carefully crafted? Being creative comes natural to all of us, and growing up kills it. Learn how to be creative from those who excel at it.
5. Forgiveness
As kids, we all used to fight with our playmates, classmates, siblings, cousins and even our parents. But all that was a matter of time and we soon forgave everyone for everything they did. After growing up, we have learned to hold grudges and never talk to people who hurt us, knowingly or unknowingly. We should learn forgiveness from kids, and make our lives easier and happier.
6. Never-ending Efforts
Yes, we all fell as kids, but didn't we stand up every time we fell? That's how we all learned to walk, to run, and to ride a bicycle, right? Children can teach us how to never ever give up and keep on trying until we succeed
7. Smiling
Now this sure is something that we need to learn from the younger ones. Kids always smile, sometimes even when they are asleep. This makes them the stress-busting blessing that they are. While it would be practically impossible to smile all the time as grownups, we sure can try and smile more often than we do, because this will only make our life better. more

FORGIVENESS, TO MY MIND, IS THE KEY TO OPEN ALL THE LOCKS OF LIFE. REST OF THE SIX LEARNING, EXPLAINED ABOVE, FROM THE KIDS CAN BE ACHIEVED AUTOMATICALLY BY FORGIVENESS. more

What wonderful observations, dear Seema, on the behaviour of children and the lessons we seniors could learn from them! It was not said for nothing that "child is the father of man". Allow me to add a point 8. to your observations: We should learn to breathe like children....viz through the stomach and not necessarily through lungs.....any Yoga teacher would underline this. Thank you for sharing this wonderful note on "Learning from Children". Children teach us involuntarily without any ego because Nature guides them. Why do we adults resist it? more
