"Children should be seen, not heard."

I disagree with this quote strongly. Its like saying we should taste meat but not smell it. Well, every mind not matter what age is very complex in any way therefore, we should at least hear what the children have in mind so we can understand them better and know what they want.

Usually, people think children know less than adults.....think again, I out smart people over my age, and im 15. If people are gonna single me out as a child or somewhere in youth, fine but dont do so because of intellegence. I am very patient with children and talk to them as if I were a phycologist 😛 and I listen to them interested sometimes at what they say. What they do is there dicision but inside them, they must have an answer of some sort. I belive in this, and I think children should be SEEN AND HEARD.

If you disagree with me, please elaborate why.

Spoiler:
No such thing as baby talk

children are very smart, sometimes smarter than adults. They know things too, and 98% of children got this riddle right when only 2% of college students got it! Here it is:

"What is greater than God,
More Evil than the Devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
and if you eat it you'll die?"

hehe, do you guys know what it is? Ask any kid, they'll know. Children should be heard I agree.

ah ok...it took me about 5 minutes to figure that out. But yeah I get where you're coming from.

I've seen lots of cases where people should have listened to theyr children, and in my youth I was oftain not heard, even though I was right. And I think children have a sort of wisdom, that comes from a pure mind(before school and stress ****s it up!). And younger generatons are usually smarter that previous generations were at theyr age, sometimes smarter than they are now.

It's not that children shold be seen and not heard. It's that their parents should teach them the proper time to speak and when to stfu.

what is it then? 😛

I can't figure this riddle out! I can't think of nothing... 😖hifty:

kids a great, always have fun with them in the simpelist ways. good times 😂

Kids need to be quiet. They also need to speak. The quote is about teaching your kids when to speak and when to stay silent, something that you should employ in your every day life.

? I didn't know there were still places with such opinions. I thought kids were encouraged to speak these days.

I already said that, in a more subtle way...

I disagree with that quote, I don't want to see them either.

I 100% agree with you there Jacope. I can't even count how many times people have ignored me because of my age. It's just so annoying, especially when I'm right, and they're wrong! Grr. disgust

I won't treat children that way when I'm an adult.

You're a kid, xyz? How old are you?
