		<description>Wow, out of the mouths of babes as they say. I was just talking with my Mom about her sister (my aunt). She and her husband do not recycle anything. It drove my Mom crazy when she traveled to Mexico with her sister recently. BTW... recycling is really catching on in MX. 

Love the eco friendly lesson!

		<description>My five year old nephew once told his mom that he will grow up to be in the &quot;garbage business&quot; because &quot;big people&quot; throw a lot of garbage and he will make a lot of money! Eco friendly business lesson for us...

I liked the idea of teaching adults the smart phones...they always seem to know better.</description>

		<description>Hi El!

It&#039;s great too hear from you [big smile - emoticon won&#039;t do it]. Your story about your daughter is awesome... actually both of them! What little entrepreneurs they are. Did they get to eat the blackberry and apple crumble too? Ha, clever girls!

These kids I wrote about were so incredible. I&#039;m really glad you picked up on the social conscience bit... they weren&#039;t prompted to do this. Amazing isn&#039;t it?

I&#039;d love to hear what your daughter says!

Thanks for your comment. My best to you...

		<description>Hi Theresa :)
My eldest has been showing signs of an entrepreneurial flair for the last couple of years. She&#039;s seven now. A couple of years ago she spent ages drawing her own comic before telling me I needed to photocopy it so she could sell her new comic for £1 a time. The last autumn, she and her younger sister and I collected blackberrries. I had to buy them off them for 20p each before I was allowed to make them into a blackberry and apple crumble!

I&#039;m really keen to encourage her but had always been struggling to know how to do so. This post has inspired me to ask her about what she&#039;s do.

What I loved about the majority of the answers from these children was their clear social conscience. That is really exciting :)</description>

		<description>Hi Jeff,

That&#039;s a great saying! It&#039;s so true in many ways -- mentally, physically, creatively. I guess I could go on and on. 

It&#039;s wonderful state of mind to live by. I like your wife. I love the way you think!

Thanks for the comment!

		<description>Theresa,

I love what you and Blog Angel both had to say about letting out your inner child.  I have a saying that I thought you both would enjoy...

We don&#039;t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

I like to live by this one.  Just ask my wife.  She&#039;s still trying to figure out when I&#039;m going to grow up.

Jeff.</description>

		<description>Hi Joella,

Thanks for the visit! I love what you&#039;ve said about your inner child. Isn&#039;t it funny how most of us know this, but we forget to let that child out to play?

I&#039;m glad to hear from you. I love your take on my post. Keep playing!

		<description>Hi Theresa!

What an interesting blog you have here. Great niche idea, talk about creative. You have lots in common with these awesome kids. :)

Personally I try to keep a strong connection to my &quot;inner child&quot; and I make a point of letting her out often. Not only is she a great source of creativity, but she helps me keep a sense of wonder in a world that has grown tarnished an jaded.

Children are naturally more adventurous than adults as well as being creative. You need that combination to make many &quot;adult&quot; ventures really work.

Thanks for reminding me that I haven&#039;t let my child out to play in the garden today. But first thing tomorrow...</description>

		<description>Hi Joy!

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I&#039;ll have that song tune in my mind for a while now :) (Greatest Love of All -- I just looked it up). It&#039;s a good one with a great message. 

Your response is exactly what I hoped for when writing this post. I also wish more parents asked their kids questions like this!

It&#039;s great to hear from you. Thanks for contributing to the conversation!

Theresa

		<description>Hi Theresa, I love the way you think and especially loved hearing all the children&#039;s responses! Great fun - such wisdom, generosity, and inspiration from such young minds. Reminded me of the Whitney Houston song, children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way (or words to that effect.)

I wish more parents asked kids these questions because the way the economy is going the traditional job market really doesn&#039;t hold much future. 

You&#039;re also right in line with Robert Kiyosaki&#039;s book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Great article. Thanks for sharing!</description>

		<description>Hi Preeti,

I&#039;m glad you found me too! Thanks for stopping by. I would love to know what your 5 year old would say. Kids are amazing. It&#039;s adults who struggle so sometimes when it comes to thinking outside the box. Especially when looking for new business ideas!

Thanks again for visiting, it is very nice to meet you!

		<description>Hi Theresa,

I am glad you commented on my blog and I found your site. This title intrigued me a lot as I have a 5 year old, who also pretends to work in office or company and it is interesting to see what they think about what adults do at the work! I like many of these kids&#039;s suggestions and idea, pretty cool!</description>
