Why do children give better advice than adults?

[FictionalCharacter]

This is inspired by the children hotline peep talk for adults. That actually helped adults cry and feel better.

Though I’m not gonna lie, there were times when I got better advice from my nieces. Than bitter users on here.

I just feel children are stress free and live life to the fullest. That their opinions and advice are more genuine of caring for others.

[Mango-man]

Yeah, agree. Kids are not yet stained by pretending, conspiring, and lying.

I would recommend reading The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry if you want something heartwarming and yet soul freezing (since the book has several "layers" it can entertain both kids and adults).

Because they don't give a fuck! They have no need of being nice or being conventional. Their brain is highly active and can think out of the box stuff because they haven't been "boxed" yet, unlike adults

Children are not familiar with politics. This is why kids always give the blunt truth. Politics clouds you from reaching the truth.

They've been untainted by harsh life so free spirited. But, I think people could get good advice from a close friend, you have to ask the friend. I think you need experience to be able to understand the question, otherwise it's a little pie eyed. What you need is a chilled, fancy free friend who's not invested in the question, you want a non bias opinion.

Many reasons! They say what they think without any care or reserve. They see things in black and white it is or it is not period no grey area! They are innocent and not influenced.

I don't know that they always do. My niece advised me to invest in play-doh and lego's lol. But if they do it's probably because they haven't lived long enough to develop the biases we do as we age based on our life experiences.

[Precipice]

Maybe it's because they don't have experiences that filter their options.

[globetrotter22]

They tend to give unfiltered thoughts and opinions. Can be good but also sometimes not so good.

Children are closer to the forces of nature. That helps them recognize the truth.

[Hellraiser1984]

Usually far less trauma and inexperienced with the evils of life.

[Likes2drive]

They are usually brutally honest too
