Writing exercises: What adults can learn from children

There are so many things that adults can learn from children that it's simply amazing. The bible says a child can lead you.

Some of the things that I noticed is whenever children get ready to write something they use the simplest language possible and it is not a lot long drawn out paragraphs. They get right to point without a whole lot in between.

Other things we can learn from children is their method of communication. Children will communicate in the most straight forward honest way possible without trying to hurt someones feeling. They simply tell you what they see and hear.

Whenever children get into a fight or argument five minutes later they are friends again. However, if this happens with adults they will many times take that heartache and those grudges to the grave with them.

We can all take a lesson from children and lighten up and live a little.
