In Adorna Syitak’s Ted Talk, What Adults Can Learn from Kids, she challenges adults to embrace child-like imaginations and believe in children being the future leaders and developers of the world. Letting children dream and imagine new things for the world without limitations or low expectations will create an open place for people to freely inspire others and progress the world. Adults should look at children as the hope for tomorrow not the problem of today. Underestimating abilities, restricting creativity, limiting dreaming space and not caring about children will set kids up to be less inspired, less motivated, less creative and less capable adults who don’t care about others or have hope for the future and the future generation just
In her article, “Lecture Me. Really”, Molly Worthen addresses the issue college students know all too well: how to lecture properly. Published in the New York Times, Worthen writes a passionate article about lecturing but from the perspective of a professor. Worthen presents the idea that lecturing, although some may think ineffective in the classroom, is a way to truly challenge and engage students into critically thinking. Worth dictates this idea with an excellent build up logical argument but lacks the proper evidence to support her claims creating a faulty argument.

Ellen writes “Back then, parents pretty much stayed out of children’s business.” In her thesis, she mentions that parents should let children be bored. I agree with Ellen, parents should let their children be children and let them be creative. However, parents shouldn’t control their

...ts set for them. Children are constantly aware of adults’ choices, and they begin to formulate their own understanding of general values at a young age. When adults are hypocritical of their pre-set standards, it sends children into a state of discombobulation.

The families of today, regardless of family structure, must be strengthened and supported by society and the government in the family’s efforts to ensure their children is prepared for the future.

One can’ t help but be inspired when Esquith states, “If we ask great things of our children, we must show them we believe great things are possible” (Esquith, 2007).

Success can kill ambition and creative art. A child is most creative when they are young. However, children are now being taught that you should focus more on being successful rather than doing what you love. Forbes conducted a study in 2009 to see what jobs kids want to do the most. Seven out of 33 5-year-olds say they want to be superheroes when they grow up. Three kids want to be princesses, and one hoped to grow up to be SpongeBob
There is an overwhelming amount of evidence of the human race realtion to, creativity and that we all have an interest in education. Education is so important to us because it is the only thing we can use for this unpredicted future. All children have talents, but the education system crushes our creativity because we are taught to think a certain way. Due to the fear of being wrong has led children to no longer be creative which is why many adults lose that “capacity” to be able to be creative.
