On November 20, we celebrate World Children’s Day: a time to recognize the rights, voices, and potential of kids around the world.
But it’s also a great day to pause and flip the script.
Instead of asking what can we teach children, what if we asked:
What can we learn from them?
A Powerful Perspective From a Young Voice
One of our favorite resources to share with families and educators is this 8-minute TED Talk by then-12-year-old Adora Svitak, titled “What Adults Can Learn From Kids”.
She reminds us that there’s so much adults can learn from kids — and that traits society often labels as “childish,” like imagination, honesty, boldness, and idealism, are actually essential and powerful.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or caring adult, this talk is worth a watch (and maybe even a rewatch with your child beside you).
Happy World Children’s Day!
Stay bright,
The Abrite Team 💛
