100 comments fedilink hide all child comments

most happy and healthy kids have a unique desire to learn and trying to suppress that is unhealthy

things like screen time, finish your plate, etc

screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

"finish your plate" I was never told that as a kid and I devour anything that is given to me

Just a suggestion. More people will be willing to acknowledge your opinion, if you are more accepting of others'.

You asked a question, I gave you an honest, courteous response, and you came back with what I perceived as "Whatever, I'm still right."

A significant part of wisdom is knowing that you DON'T know everything and that differing opinions are not a threat or insult, but an opportunity to see a perspective that you haven't been exposed to before.

EDIT: I've had a chance to read some of your responses to other replies, and I'm doubling down on my suggestion above. Your arrogance and refusal to acknowledge any ideas that don't match your own predetermined assumptions, are exactly why grown ups aren't taking you seriously.

Age is an important factor though because it takes time. Some people develop faster than others, but it take time and so younger people will be less wise. Sure there are some wiser at 20 than others at 40 - but the general trend that a 40 year old is wiser than a 20 year old is true.
