Children have a lot of special talents to offer. Their pursuit of novelty and wonder is both a cause and an effect—a gift of the life fully lived and one of the things that make life worth living. Anyone who knows children can tell you that they do the following:
Children follow their interests. If a kid is bored, you know it. None of this polite interest stuff the rest of us get stuck in. What they like, they do, and this teaches them that following what they like makes them happy—so they do it some more.
Children seek out and risk experimenting with new things. If kids are confronted with something unfamiliar, they will take a chance and try it out. They prod and poke it, smell it, look at it from all angles, try using it in different ways, look to see what you think about it—maybe even give it to you to see what you do with it. We adults, by contrast, slap a label in it, say, " I know what that is," and dismiss it. What we’re really saying is, "I know what I already know about that, and there’s nothing more worth knowing," which is almost never true of anything or anyone.
Children pay attention to their own rhythms. We grown-ups tend to drive ourselves until something’s done, or until a certain hour strikes, but children do things when they feel like it. Naturally, since someone else tends to their necessities, they may have more time and freedom to do that, but we would do well to follow their lead where we have the choice. When we work during our most productive times and rest during our other times, we make the most of our energies. That means if we do our best work between 4 p. m. and 2 a. m. , then we should strive to arrange our day to make use of those hours. We become more trustworthy to ourselves and others.
Children honor dreams and daydreams. Children pay attention to, talk about, and follow up on their dreams and fantasies. They may draw pictures the say in their dreams, conduct conversations with dream characters, and try to recreate something experienced in dreams and daydreams. These are all creative acts. Moreover, they are important: Mankind has learned that dreams are a language the subconscious uses to communicate to the conscious. Many people say they don’t remember their dreams, but I know of no serious effort to connect with one’s dream life that hasn’t succeeded. Those who succeed often report an experience of waking and sleeping that is like living two lives, each one feeding and nourishing the other.
Children consider mistakes as information, rather than as something unsuccessful. "That’s a way it doesn’t work. I wonder how else it doesn’t work?" For children, the process of figuring something out is in itself a win. We, however, are hung up on outcomes, so we lay judgements on our mistakes—"We did it wrong" and what is worse, we take it further—therefore, "People won’t love us," "We’re never good enough," and "We’ll be all alone. " No wonder mistakes frighten some of us so deeply. Patterns like that aren’t learned overnight, and changing them may take a few tries, but they can be changed.
Children play. Kids make a game out of everything. Their essential business is play, so to speak. They delight in spoofing each other, parents, and personalities. They love to mimic, pretend, wrestle, hide and seek, surprise, and play practical jokes. They love to laugh, tell secrets, devise stories of goblins and fairies and giants and monsters and heroes. They’re not hung up on accuracy. When in doubt, they know they can always make it up. Many adults, however, have withdrawn permission from themselves to be silly, to expose the part of themselves that feels young.
