They are an extension of our lineage and of ourselves. Children are generally seen as the most important people in our lives. And yet, at times, we don't seem to understand them. What do they want? Why do they react the way they do?
In fact, there are big differences between children and adults when it comes to the physical alone. Their senses take time to develop, their metabolism is closer to that of the best athletes and, unlike adults, everything attracts them, making it harder to concentrate. Above all, they need attachment and creativity. Yet the Western approach to education is often very restrictive. They are relentlessly monitored and brought up to speed to meet their parents' expectations.
In cultures that have broken out of these shackles, the world of children and that of adults are not separated. Kids are encouraged to take responsibility, and annoying behavior is quickly brushed aside by parents who claim it's age-related. As a result, children in these civilizations tend to be less resistant to adults and more willing to approach them. What if we learned from children's openness and creativity and adopted it into our everyday lives?

But how does it relate to other animal species? Do we need to convince or persuade other species?
