I think so, too. When you give a children a challenge they often make it "fun" to find solutions, and they use their imaginations to do so. They tend to use their imaginations in a very positive way, more often than adults do. There is so much we can learn by spending more time with them! :) Hi Christiaan, welcome, and thanks for commenting. I think so, too.

Are there ever problems or only challenges.... Challenge a kid and they'll more likely than not make it into a contest finding ever more resourceful ways of winning the game. Probably finding ways that any adult would have never thought of just because it's outside of the box. It's not in the standard package of sollutions we build in our lives. It's new... Now only if adults could invent new stuff as well... get back to the beginner's mind and enjoy the fresh perspective looking at that evil adult prison of the box..

That video is an eye-opener and pretty telling about the state of higher ed (and education in general). I have more like them, I'll have to share them sometime! @Jeremiah: Thanks for stopping by! Love that Apple video, too... I'd rather be a "crazy one" any day of the week... "The problem solvers solve problems, but those who dream, invent, and innovate are truly the ones that change the world." Very well put!! @jonathanfigaro "I want" lists are probably the first lists kids learn how to make, at the prodding of adults, of course, telling them "to write it all down". And boy, do they get enthusiastic about it! We could re-learn a thing or two from them by making a few "I want" lists instead of so many "to do" lists! Cheers, Miche :) Some great comments and I’ve been waiting to get free to catch up here!

Kids will write up an i want list quicker than you can turn off the television. They don't put limits on what they can be, do , or have.
