A few days ago my wife thought it would be interesting to pose a question to our kids. She asked "If you were stuck on a deserted island and you could only have one item with you, what would it be?" A pretty famous question, and one I've changed my answer to many times. In my mind, I started scrolling through the inventory of items I'd consider. But before I could answer my son piped up and said "a boat!"
It was a shot to my pride to be out smarted by a 4 year old, but it isn't the first or the last time I'm sure. I think often adults underestimate the genius contained in a young mind. We can learn a lot by listening to a child.
