Thank you everyone for your wonderful and insightful comments.

To answer Andrew- The teenager phenomena, I believe, is a reaction to all of the inconsistency that they begin to experience. For instance, when their parents do do practice what they preach. If they are told to be good people, they feel frustration when they see their parents bad mouthing others, lying and cheating. When they are told to respect their elders, they get frustrated when they see their parents arguing with their grandparents. This rebellion is a realization that the world is very hypocritical, and I believe that this can be thwarted if they are not consistently pressured to take everyone and everything so seriously. So, #7 would be, Children do not take everything so seriously!

Andrew -

And then when they become parents:

1. They wish they didn’t have to get up in the morning… 5 times.

2. They do not want to go to sleep at night… because they know they’re going to have to wake up… 5 times.

3. They play games… like when the baby cries and needs to be changed, they ‘nudge’ their partner and then pretend to be asleep so that THEY have to change the diaper this time.

4. They pretend like they know everything since their kids always ask them.

5. They take pleasure in the little things…. like finishing complete sentences, and sitting on the sofa when it’s not being turned into a trampoline.

6. They appreciate the big things that we seem to ignore… like Baby Einstein, swaddling blankets, and gripe water.

And guess what happens when they become teenagers:

1. No chance

2. The same

3. Only drinking ones

4. They think they do

5. They don’t. Only BIG and expensive treats count.

6. They only appreciate money

I’d like to add to this list, that my 1 1/2 year old son communicates quite well! He doesn’t speak English, but he can grunt and point, squeal with delight, and nod yes/no when we ask questions.

Although we may sometimes not know what exactly he wants, he’s VERY clear in communicating how he feels about a situation.

Oh so true. I don’t plan on having kids and I find that most of these traits I still have because I haven’t been weighted down with the responsibility that is having kids.

[...] 6 Ways Children Trump Adults At Life [...]

I read about your bio. I’m amazed that you know what you want at such young age. I hope you continue to inspire more young people so that we can build a better world with more responsible and caring souls.

Why children are happier and adults are miserable?! For me, children are just pure and simple. Adults have gone thru so much in live so they are tend to be more complicated in their thinking! That’s why adults keep telling themselves to simplify lives, but at the same time, the adults still have to face the reality of live! That’s life!

I enjoy working with children so much, due to their simplicity in their thinking. They keep me smiling all day long!

Thank you Shanel! The Little Prince is one of my favorite books, and I love how it is both applicable to adults and children. I will definitely check out your post!

Great post, Marina! I just love The Little Prince! Through the eyes and observations of kids, we become young again. : ) For all who want to reconnect with that magical time when anything could happen, so we dared to dream really big dreams, I wrote a post about how to tap that “Childhood Happiness” for our adult lives at http://shanelyang.com/2008/07/25/all-about-you-day-3-childhood-happiness/
