Adora Svitak: What adults can learn from kids
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Apr 2, 2010
http://www.ted.com Child prodigy Adora Svitak says the world needs "childish" thinking: bold ideas, wild creativity and especially optimism. Kids' big dreams deserve high expectations, she says, starting with grownups' willingness to learn from children as much as to teach.
