Have you ever heard the expression, ‘out of the mouth of babes’? We often use it to describe when children say something that really makes a lot of sense and it is likely something that an adult couldn’t figure out. One of the reasons why children may be able to see the forest through the trees in this way is because of their innocence. Adults will often hold back because they are embarrassed that they might be wrong or perhaps because of how others would view them. Children, on the other hand, just say whats on their mind and it is the most precious thing to hear. Don’t believe me? Check out these words of wisdom from children:
