About This Quote
This quote is about how children can teach their parents or guardians many things. When you are a child, you see the world in a whole different way than your parents. Therefore, you can provide them with lessons that they will appreciate. For example, when you are a child, you notice every little thing.
From the acorn to the clouds, everything is amazing to you. You take notice of it all and tell your parents about what you see. They may not be able to garner the same appreciation for everything as you do but they will eventually learn to appreciate it all as well.
