1. Support others unconditionally. Children support their peers whether they are friends or not.
They rally to help one other and cheer each other on without expecting anything in return. As

making it hard for them to give praise or encouragement. Children will teach you it is okay, and fun,
to give support.

2. Forgive quickly. Children sometimes hurt each other while playing. However, they find it easier
to ask for and give apologies. They do not hold grudges for long unlike adults. Seeing children
forgive will inspire you to do the same.

3. How to find happiness in simple things. Children light up when they spot a shiny rock, play
games with ordinary objects, or see their parents. They derive much joy from the small things. This
is something all adults should learn to emulate.

will become much more tolerant.
