Of course they don’t, they’re idiots who needs a lot of guidance and attention. However they do hold valuable keys to two of the most important things in life; money and creativity

Money

The privilege of a child is they rarely have to pay for anything. Which unconsciously program them to learn something business people already know…use other people money for more money. I noticed my cousin do something that I did as a child and that’s put away all the money I would get to let it grow over time. Children also benefit from another tactic adults are just starting to capitalize on more often….crowd-sourcing. Usually a child has their mind set on something specific they want since; they are too young to work they go to the next best method of asking anyone who’s around for money. Much like kickstarter children ask and ask until the goal amount for their purchase is reached.

Creativity

Children are gifted with vivid imaginations and aren’t afraid for being judged for what they like. They indulge into whatever they like wholeheartedly. Think back to when you were a child.. how detailed would your imaginary game of house would be or how well thought out your wrestling matches with your action figures was? Whatever it was you was always in tune with the present moment; which made you able to focus which in turn boosted your creativity.

Takeaway

Most adults get caught up in the simulation of life and learned behavior of their parents resulting in an extreme lack when it comes to money and creativity. Maybe approaching things from the view of a child could be the shift in your life you didn’t know you needed.
