Advice from Kids

July 30, 2015 By Ashley 6 Comments

You're going to laugh at me for this one. I was playing the Inside Out game on my phone and could not get past this one level- 133. I even looked up the youtube video on how to beat it. Shameful I know. It was so bad and after a week of being unable to free all the workers, I was ready to stop playing. My cheerleaders however had other plans. They love watching me play, hearing the emotions talk, and saying You're going to win! When I was muttering about never playing this game ever again my daughter looks at me and says Mommy, you shouldn't give up. Just keep trying and do your best. 

She was right of course. And what got me the most was that she was repeating advice I had given her and her brother. It was a moment when my not-so-little Princess really showed she is growing up. I felt all warm inside knowing this was proof my life lessons weren't falling on deaf ears. Tears in my eyes, I hugged her and said I promise I won't give up. 

That got me thinking, what other sage advice is hiding in the minds of kids. So I asked my children and some of their friends what advice they had for adults. I hope these make you smile like they did for me!

Advice from kids for adults, funny things kid say, Kid Advice

 

  • Keep trying. You're probably bigger than your problem so act like it – 9 year old
  • If you can't reach what you want, get a ladder – 6 year old
  • If you want to travel the world, take a plane a car would take too long unless the place was right by your house- 8 year old
  • If you can't be a doctor you should be a pirate. They are really cool – 5 year old
  • It's okay to cry. Hug your baby lion like this – 4 year old
  • Girls can be anything they want, like a doctor, a football player, or a princess. Maybe even all 3 at the same time – 7 year old
  • If an adult loses their keys, they should look were they were yesterday-5 year old
  • If really want something you have to save up all the money in your piggy bank. That's how it works you know – 6 year old
  • If someone needs help you should help them, like Spider-Man – 5 year old 

You'll be happy to know, or you'll laugh at me some more, that I did finally beat that level, and received huge hugs from both kiddos for my accomplishment. But what is more important than finally being past it is that I could tell her she was right. I told her I took your advice, I didn't give up and I finally made it. After squeezing me she said I knew you could do it, you just had to know. *heart full*

What is the best or funniest advice a kid has ever given you?

    My kiddos say the darndest things some times. It really helps me remember what I say while around them because they really repeat what we say. Just the other day I cause my youngest (2) shouting at the dog to be quiet. SHe was barking at something or other. Its was funny but scary how much they watch.

    I love when my daughter gives me advice! She’s only four but she is a very wise soul. When I’m feeling down or stressed, she always has something wise to say and it usually cracks me up!

Bummed to be missing my favorite festival #artfule Bummed to be missing my favorite festival #artfulepcot this year. If you haven’t been and can go do it! It’s a magical experience to meet the artists and talk with them about their work. Plus you can get limited edition pieces signed and sometimes personalized!  I’m always looking for fun pieces to add to our collection. If you’re an artist or have some faves let me know! Who knows maybe I’ll slip away to visit or at least have a friend pick some pieces up for me!  #disneycreators #spaceshipearth #epcotball #experimentalprototypecommunityoftomorrow #disneyepcot #epcotcenter #DailyDisney  #Disneygrammer #DisneyParks #InstaDisney #DisneyAddict #DisneyDay #IGers_WDW #DisneyLove #Disneynerd #disneyobsessed #disneyaccount #disneylifestylers

“This is a new day. A new beginning.” - Ahsoka “This is a new day. A new beginning.” - Ahsoka Tano  2020 has been a year. And I won’t lie and say it’s been easy but we decided early on to try and find the positive. The light amidst  the darkness.  While I know that Jan 1st isn’t going to magically fix things, I do look forward to 2021 in hopes that everyone comes together, does what needs to be done, so that by the end of it we will have some semblance of balance in the force.  I don’t do New Years resolutions but I do plan on continuing to look for the light, be the good, and help others to as well. Just like my girl Ahsoka Tano. 🧡💙  #tanotuesday #ahsokatano #ahsokalives #heruniverse #batuuesday #starwarsgalaxysedge #disneydesignercollection  #ahsokaforever #starwarsgirls
