What do you think of when you hear the word “kids”? Surely we will say funny, innocent, honest and so on, right?. In the Qur’an the word “Dhurriyah” (zuriah) which means children or descendants has been mentioned in the Qur’an 32 times in 19 different suras.
Each of you is a shepherd and each of you will be in charge of your livestock.” (Bukhari and Muslims)
This means that Islam emphasizes the importance of children or family. In this post, viral propaganda wants to share different thoughts and views about children. What adults can learn from children.
Here are 10 things we can learn from children
1. Diligent and persistent
We all know children don’t give up easily when they want something. They will do anything to focus and achieve the goals they want. But sometimes adults actually get in the way of this desire.
2. Positive attitude when making mistakes
Before getting to know the school environment, children have been taught that making mistakes is not a good thing. Children don’t think about their mistakes, they make the experience a learning experience.
As adults we should learn from experience, if we make a mistake take it as our opportunity to learn and grow to be a better person.
3. Sincere heart
Children are always honest with their feelings, they also don’t hold grudges and easily forgive others. As adults we must learn to relate to others with the same level of sincerity.
If we do one good thing to a child, it will be easy for him to forget the mistakes we have made. On the other hand, if we do something wrong to adults, they will forget our kindness towards them.
4. Easy to adapt
Children adapt easily to changes in their lives. Unlike adults who sometimes have difficulty dealing with changes in their lives.
5. Always smile and laugh
The interesting fact is that the average duration of a child laughs about 200 times a day while an adult only laughs 14 to 17 times a day. Most adults are even gloomy and do not smile easily.
6. Curiosity gives way
Children naturally have high curiosity, they are always looking for new things with their own abilities. We as adults must continue to explore our curiosity about many things, because curiosity will find new things.
7. Trust
Trust is a difficult thing these days. It is difficult to trust others and tends to always be suspicious of even good things. It is different with children they always choose to believe in other people. People who choose to believe tend to be happier and more liked by others. That is why we must behave in a trustworthy manner.
8. Be confident
Children are always confident they always feel they are the most beautiful, handsome, fast, strong, smart etc. From this we learn that self-confidence is important so that we can pursue our dreams.
9. Active
Children always do activities wherever they are. As adults we also have to be active and productive.
10. Knowledge we may not have
In the era of technology and high-tech devices, children get useful information all the time. If we listen to them maybe we will realize that their knowledge is wider than ours.
Those are 10 things we can learn from children.
Respect children and listen to them, there comes a time when they become adults they will do the same. Children are the next generation who will fight for good things as we want.
As adults, as parents, of course we want to see them grow into someone who can benefit many people.
May Allah always protect our children making them among the pious.
