I agree with the quote you provided. Moreover, I would be lying if I said that this book did not help me discover my inner child. It made me realized that I have missed it so much.

It’s amazing how when you are a child you believe you can do anything as long as you set your mind to it. The world feels like it belongs to you and is yours for the taking but as we get older, we get more cynical, doubt ourselves more, etc. it’s important to stay connected to that inner child that believes that we are good enough.

As kids we are discovering the world without predetermined beliefs. As we grow up, we fall in the comparison trap and begin to divide things in useful or not, trendy or not. And sometimes our talents just do not seem so attractive anymore.

I definitely think it's true! As children all we want to do is explore and learn new things. I think at some point we become conscious of the fact that we are being studied and judged by others, and this affects how we learn and what we believe we can do.

It's true that kids are maestros.They have so much in their inside and nothing holds them back when it comes to expressing it.Once they grow up and the intruders come in they forget about it.

Whenever I see the word 'all' my mind wanders to look for the exception. I do have to agree though that children are hopeful and I'd like to give them more hope. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all children were born into a welcoming, secure environment?

What a line! Whenever I ponder on how my life shaped itself to be what it is now, this very quote is the perfect explanation. It was nice to make the discovery that I am not alone in this. I don't know about others but this line describes me. As a child, I just knew I was meant for something great. I was going to be a writer and I think I wasn't terrible at it. But alas, life happens. Well-meaning people throw unsolicited advice your way and tell you to grow up. At some point, I guess you do. That desire for greatness just transforms into regret and then dulls over time.

I like that children would have no limits in their dreams, But I also believe that dreams change with age. not only the ability to courageously dream, But the nature of the dreams. Mostly the person gets to know himself better and redirects himself according to that.

Yh
It is 100% correct. Children will want to be whatever thing they are ok with. But the truth is that, while they grow, they will begin understand the reality of life. And so, they will do away those thoughts

I agree with that. Children have a lot of unique talents, potential, and skills. But they don't necessarily forget it but there is no one to guide them through the process, I would say.

I agree with this. I am once a child and I've been teaching children. I discovered that children do believe that they can achieve anything, especially those things the people before them lack in their lives. This child mentality is very necessary for a solid foundation against tomorrow's challenge, and parents need to identify the area a child is oozing confidence and provide the necessary resources to aid the development of that talent. This book provoked deep thought indeed. Thanks to the author!

This is true. Back then as children, we ooze with a lot of talents and the possibility of becoming anything we want. As we grow older and face our lives realities some ambitions begin to drop. this book helps me to discover these and I can now find myself where I can regain the age-long talent and passion in me.

Personally, I know it’s true. When we are children, we believe we will become this and that because we know we are capable, then challenges came on, we forgot about it. This is where the actions of intentional parents come in.

The choices seem limitless to children because, in my opinion, they are so accustomed to being asked what they want to be when they grow up.
