I think her speech is right. there are some restricton between kids and adults,and some that adults put on kids. Like sharing,kids love to share what they think and what they feel,but adult may say that you are still too young for it or they think that they should be a super mom and dad in front of kids. But adults don't understand that no matter kids can know or realize the situatin or not,they truely want to share the happiness and pain with adults. Kids want to help in their own way even they don't know.
I'm glad that there is a publisher publishing her book. It make she can speak to adults to reach her goal. Kids will grow up and become adults. Her speech try to make the adults become the better adults and let them to teach their kids become a better generation. What a great idea!

I think it make me think a lot in this issue after I watched the film this week.We often think that childen are childish.But do children really childish? If we look back at history,we could see age has absolutely nothing to do with it."The traits the word childish addresses are seen so often in adults,"just like Adora Svitak said.

I really like this words, "In order to make anything a reality,we have to dream about it first."It really encourge me.Because we often give up swift.We easily stop ourself,thinking:That's impossible.And if we see children, they seldom come to thinking about reasons why not to do things.That's what I really have to learn.

I think Adora Svitak's speech tries to pass on some message to adults and hope adults would change their thinking.Let kid grow up and become adults not like us but better generation.And wish I would not be like those adults.

After watching this speech, I can’t agree more about the girl’s thought. Being parents or adults shouldn’t restrict children’s thinking. Although children often make irrational thoughts , that's a good thing because in order to make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first. Like when we were child, our teacher might be let us write the composition,“What would you like to do in the future?” Many of dreams ,acually, wouldn't come true in the future, but we should try to let our chidren to do.
It’s lucky of the speaker that she has special parents. Her parents didn’t want her to be a doctor or lawyer. They would listen their children. This type of parents isn’t a lot.

It’s too hard to understand the all speech.I had tried my best to absorb what she want to express.So I watched and listened many times,I finally had undertood some point.
Initially, I don’t look on the word“childish”as a bad word.But until looked all speech,I have some thoughts were chaged.Adults seemed to use “childish”to discriminate an adult who was not mature enough.
From this speech,I learned when people were grew up, they still should keep childish.Otherwise,what they do? What they think? Even how they teach their next generation will toward a situation not very well.Not inferring that being a totally adult isn’t good,but keep a little bit childish will lead people to a better world. Maybe there are so many factors , situations and paadoxes that drive a person from child to adult lose the important peronality “childish”. A person’s development process influenced by too many negative factors,for instance:money presure,life presure and occupation pressure and so on.In my opinion that opposite side of losing childish is being stronger to face all the challenges. Only being strong,mature,strict and snobbish that when you face obstacles will feel better.
Unfortunately, it’s a process that everybody must experience.So and I.
I hope I can keep a little bit of the personality “childish” from now on. Inorder to be a better adult to make me bettr and live my future life well.

Adora Svitak thinks that the things what we defined as “irrational” not exactly the world don’t need. Once having a great idea in mind, adults may consider too much restriction so that given up the plan. Unlike adults, kids did what they thought perfection and full of inspiring and hopeful thinking, even though they didn’t know whether the plan could do in practical or not. There have no restrictions about their thought. So that children have “dream”.
Not only kids could learn from adults but adults could also learn from kids. Adults have been place the restriction, so we have hoped that kids would grow to be better adults. Kids mean new generations, all we want new eras could be more grow and develop. Giving kids a chance!!

When I had listened this speech,I just thought the speaker's talk was so fast that I can't understand what she wanted to express.But I tried my best to keep my mind on listen many times.
When we are child,we have many dreams in our future.I think I want to be a pilot when I grows up.But now,I don't think so.Because kids have innocent and pure thinks,and the thinks less exists from a adult.The older we are,the more reality and social circumstances restrict our irrational mind.Unfortunately,the world is full of rational minds and serious rules,so people likes to living in a bottle.I think the society lacks of the childish mind.The world needs more childish mind to harmonize with our world.
Therefore,I agree the speaker's express.We adults can learn so many things from our childern.

When I first listened this speech in class,I could hardly realize what the speeker spoke about.Then,I listened it again after I went home.While I was listening,I wrote down some key words so that I could understand more contents.
We must have dreamed a big dream in our childhood.However,we realized that was difficult and impossible when we grew up.Therfore,we usually gave up ,and dream will never come true.Like Adora Svitak said,to make things reality,you have to dream first.Many people dream their dreams,but few people make their dreams come true.
Fortunately, Adora Svitak’s parents support her very much.If parents put more expection on their children,they also limit the future.Hoever,except for parents’support ,I think that the people who has courage and self-confident will get more chance to realize his/her dream .

I agree her view point and feel it is important thing. Many adults do not pay attention to the idea of children. For example, parents often tell their children “this is business of adults not about children.” when children want to tell their ideas or advices. They miss opportunities about teaching children to think. Moreover, kids can cultivate confidence and have courage to express their thinking.
Children have innocent ideas and beautiful dreams that we lose in our growth process. Dream can help us to achieve our goals, but we forget it. This is a bad situation. Not kids should learn from adults but also adults should learn from kids, this is important thing for children and adults. People have to learn from each other then future will be better.

Published the first book “flying fingers” when age eight, that’s Adora Svitak. After listened the lecture of her, I absolutely approved her point of view, she said that we should abolish that the age discrimination. Besides, adult often underestimated kids’ ability and distrust them.
I went to the Datong elementary school to be an apprentice teacher about two weeks last year. Their imagination and creation are so amazing ! They constantly think good ideas without fearing difficulty. By the way, they always have optimistic attitude and positive thinking! Just like she talked about the Museum of glass have some kids design glasses, their good ideas take artists more ideas. I believe that kids can better than us when they grow up!

Adora’s speech reminded us of an important thing that we always underestimate the possibility of children. By the way,while I writing this sentance,I see my handset bag in front of me. The pattern on it is the movie “Totoro” which manufactured by director Hayao Miyazaki. I remember that all of his movies leading roles are children. They are positive,energetic,and dare to dream,just like what Adora said. In the movies, director keeps his faith that children have their own thoughts,and they have potential to change the world. Children might not powerful,but they do their best when crisis happened. We can learn a lot from children’s brave behavior,even adults.

I think it is time to sleep. The speech makes me feel hopeful. Therefore,I think I will have a sweet dream tonight.

Before listening to the speech, I have the similar ideals with the speaker that why the almost adults like to do the things which called “restriction” .Most of the time, adults will tell you “what should you do.” and “how should you do.”But they have no thought for teach us that about why we should do this things which they hope.Too many things are considered “should to be”.
I still remember that my Mom always called me “shut up” in my childhood, because I have too many questions to ask out, they confused me deeply! Complying with my strong curiosity, I don't stop my strange behavior(most of my relatives think so, including my Mom that time) ,but do that continuously.
Learning to have the curiosity truly help me a lot. Whether or not I grow up, even becoming a typical ”adult”, I never lose it. As the speaker said, we have to learn from kids, in my opinion, the precious things that we have to learn from kids not only the creativity、courage and so on, but only containing curiosity(for me),or everything you’ve had dream about in your childhood.
In a short, dreaming it ,and more importantly, doing it in your best!

“You must lend an ear today,because we are the leaders of tomorrow.”Adora Svitak said.After watching this MV many times,I have some ideas.First,she speaks English very well and very fluent. I admire her for speaking ability.Second,I thing that establishment of some of her self-confidence should thanks to her family.Because the education of her parents makes speaker can do that about her dream,not like most people should do that meet social expectations.
Kids abilities are challenges,inspired,hopeful thinking,etc.Adults usually have irresponsibility and irrational thinking for children.So like this title said that”adults can learn from kids”.We can share ideas each other and courage to imagine.Just like Adora Svitak’s first book” Flying Fingers”.Let our souls fly!

After listening, I am on the same wavelength with Adora Svitak. The childish does not belong to child specially, and the age is nothing important. Child’s irrational thinking is able to create more bold ideas, and optimistic especially. But many times adults limit the child to do anything, this cause that they reduce the child’s creativity and underestimate the child’s ability. Therefore sometime we must respect the child’s idea, but instead of making them obey our rule. Now we not only just teach the child, but we also can learn something from them. The wisdom is not certainly the expert’s knowledge, so we cannot neglect the child to our influence. “You must lend an ear today, because we are the leaders of tomorrow.” A few words in this MV are very meaningful and significant. Trust the child’s development and listen their idea, and they will have ability to change this world.

We live in others' world. Returns alive in is ignorant, our parents have given us set of their values. For example must be filial, must make money, cant lie and so on. Did not know that their behaviors have actually strangled child's born that way creativity and the sculpture.
In Adora lecture, one section of my feelings is very deep. The original text enters: Who said that the non-rationality thinking certainly is not the world needs? Maybe you have great planes before but stop yourself thinking。That impossible or that cost too much or that not benefit me. For better , our child quite cannot tie up, quite cannot look for the pretext escape. The child has all kinds of idea and the optimistic view. Sometimes acknowledge history and the pass failure your ideal could be a burden.
When e we have the thinking or the ideal, general meeting before practice goes to think its successful possibility or brings advantage. We the rack which supposes by this society ties up the residence to limit, is unable to escape this to work loose the value standard which this society brings. This all needs we come to reconsider together.
