#2 Homie Is Cool

Kids are just kids, they say. And many adults deem the little ones distracted, impulsive, and somewhat lacking a sense of reality. This usually unintentional and often unconscious attitude towards children stops us from really getting to know their incredible minds and unique sense of the world. Even the most complex type of emotions like empathy and kindness find their place in even the smallest ones of us.

To find out more about children’s incredible minds, Bored Panda reached out to Susan Engel, an award-winning book author and senior lecturer at the Dept of Psychology and Gaudino Scholar at Williams College, Massachusetts.

According to Susan, all babies are born curious and are equipped with antenna for detecting novelty. The only difference from adults is that newborns are curious about everything. “A two-year-old wants to know about a little about everything, a 12 or 22-year-old wants to know a lot about some things, and the more they know, the more sophisticated their questions are,” she explained.

#4 I’m So Proud Of My Son, He Seen A Kid Balled Up Into A Corner Crying, So He Went To Console Him, Grabbed His Hand And Walked Him Inside Of The School

It is an honor to raise such a loving, compassionate child! He’s a kid with a big heart, the first day of school started off right.

Meanwhile, as we grow up, our sense of “curiosity tends to get narrower (zero in on specific topics, phenomena, conundrums, etc.), and for some, their curiosity gets simultaneously deeper,” Susan explained.

“Conversations, exploration, and tinkering, all essential activities,” are all the things that nurture children’s inborn thirst for the world around them as they grow to experience it. Susan suggests giving children “lots of time and opportunity to explore, to noodle around with objects, and to talk, however odd and circuitous the conversation may seem.”

#7 Late Last Night, Myles Went On And On About How He Had To Be Twins With A Boy In His Class For Twin Day Because They Look Exactly The Same — Same Eyes, Same Hair. He Was Adamant That They Were Identical

So, after the kids went to bed, I headed to Walmart at 9 p.m. to get matching outfits. Their teacher sent me this picture today. My heart melted. Obviously, they are two very different children, but Myles didn’t see that. Wouldn’t the world be such a better place if we could all view it through the eyes of a couple 5-year-olds.

#8 No Shame In Loving Your Mom

#9 A 7 Year Old Promise

A lot of grade-school aged kids may have stayed away from my sister Mary or thought she was weird because she has Downs Syndrome. But not Ben. He always looked out for her, always made sure to pick her on his team at recess and even made a promise to her in 4th grade to take her to the prom someday. 7 years later, he made good on that promise and in the process put a smile on Mary’s face & restored my faith in humanity. Have a great time at the prom you two!

Often, adults stop encouraging kids’ enquiries as they don’t really know the answer, but it would be best to do the contrary. Susan said that the important things parents could do are really take care of themselves and “nurture their own curiosity,” because “children are incredibly responsive to role models.”

Their ability to learn from role models applies to all the other complex traits, like empathy and kindness. According to scientists, “prosocial behavior,” which is essentially showing helpfulness and kindness to others, emerges as early as the second year of life. Toddlers can bite, s****h, and shout at people, but they can also be gentle and comforting.

#10 Boy Prevents Kidnapping Of A Young Girl

This is Tiernan McCready. This is what a hero looks like. Last week in the Bogside he saw three males grab an 18 year old girl and try to get her in their van. Most ADULTS would be paralysed in shock, confusion or fear and fail to act till it was too late. Tiernan reacted instantly and shouted at the males and led the girl away to safety. He then told his mum who rang Police. Let that sink in This could have been the start of a potentially serious and harrowing crime. That girl could have been my child, my sister, your child, your family member. The Bogside, Brandywell, and The Fountain Neighbourhood Team presented Tiernan with a PSNI Badge of Honour (and some Malteasers). But this doesn’t go anywhere near to paying off the debt our community owes this boy. Our youngsters often get a bad rep but remember the vast majority are brave and big hearted just like Tiernan.

Quite simply, if “these actions receive positive responses from parents, babies’ motivation for prosocial action is enhanced,” explains Dr. Celia Brownell at the University of Pittsburgh.

#19 Crying In An Uber

Moreover, if toddlers see their parents acting kind towards one another, they are much more likely to engage in similar behavior. Actively discussing emotions and needs with their toddlers is likely to also nurture prosocial behavior, and when combined with a child’s inner sense of curiosity, it will surely pave a solid path to kind and open-minded individuals as they grow up.
