Absolutely. I think a big mistake a lot of people make is assuming kids are not as smart as we are. Actually, the brains of children are super-wired for gathering and assimilating information -- it is we, the adults, who are lacking in comparison. The problem is, we often fail to communicate to children in a way they understand, so that part about seeing things from a child's point of view is very important. In its own way, a child's point of view can be more complex than the parent's.
