I have always been kind of concerned as to how kids behave and how to understand them better. I myself have three younger brothers and one little sister who is 20 years younger than me. So I have somewhat a fair advantage over seeing what they do and how they do things that might results in something good or bad. But obviously that is something they wouldn’t realize since that’s how I was when I was their age.
For example if my brother who is 16 years old says something that might lead him in trouble I would say “No bro that would be wrong if you do that” but if he still goes on and does it then I might feel sad that he didn’t listen, but in reality when I think about it that’s how I might have been as well when my dad used to say stuff and I was like “Naa dad you don’t know that much about the present and so on” but the thing is that sometimes it is true that parents and other elders DO know a few more things that give them the edge over any situation than “us” when we were young that is.
Some adults obviously with age might not have gone through experiences that others might have. So I won’t post an AGE factor over anyone saying that if you are 40 you are the smartest person in the world since some youngsters can be 16 and still carry themselves so well that maturity level is very well presented to anyone they meet. On the other hand some adults might be so childish that they think about what they have said AFTER they have said it rather than thinking of it beforehand so they don’t end up in the corner.
Lots of times children come up with amazing ideas and concerns about things which we adults might not notice that much but if we really look at them and listen to their ideas we might learn things we might never be able to understand. I have young cousins who I talk to quite a lot and love listening to them. And everytime I see them I learn something new.. where one thing always is in the back of my mind.. that kids nowadays are WAY smarter than ever before.. So I tell myself “Wakas calm down and don’t be oversmart with them.. they know what you are thinking” 
How well do YOU understand children and any tips as to how we can be better adults?

They say: Don’t look who’s talkin, listen what’s being said
So yeah sometimes one can’t say that since he/she is a kil they can’t say somethin worth remembering or even listening to – I feel that when we start controllin kids N their every action in a sense where they feel that have no say then we as adults are destined to fail – Yes we should keep N eye on what they’re up to N yes we defintely shoul guide them as that’s our duty N their right, but at the same time we need to make them feel that they wishes, dreams, suggetions are heard N appriciated as well as respected. Sometime just being there for them would help the kid on the right track, in some cases I feel yes we as adults need to be very strick N sometimes we just need to be easy on kids, the difficult part is to balance when to do/say what N when not to 
AllAh bless.
