About This Quote
Although this quote is not really an inspirational one, it does touch on the idea that necessary information can be presented in different ways for different people. For instance, an adult may need to understand a concept in great detail while a child may only need to know the basics. Many of us realize that children’s ideas are often more simple than our own, but we may not realize how much they may be able to understand. There are times when children are able to truly think about what they are meant to learn and even grasp more of it than adults. This may be due in part to the fact that children are able to think about what they are learning in a way that is more holistic, meaning that they can see how all of the parts fit together.
