What an adult can learn from children’s TV programs?

adultChildrenTVLately I am watching a lot of children programs on TV, as I babysit my baby son quite often. That also gives me chance to watch some TV with him. Mostly children programs though. Still, you would be amazed the things they try to teach to little kids. They don’t just teach colors, numbers, and shapes. And also they are not all about healthy eating and regular exercise messages. They teach kids, how to become better in life and how to improve their personality.

I really believe there are great messages on children’s TV, even for adults. So, what can you learn from cartoons and educational programs;

There are things you will be good at and things you won’t

We all want to be good at everything we try. However, there will be a lot of things we won’t be able to do. At the same time there are a lot of other things we can be very good at. Only we need to discover those abilities. We must never give up trying to find out our true abilities.

Failing is not the end of the world

When you are not good at something, don’t let that get into you. Try again and again. Ask people’s help to improve and learn. By failing you can discover your true abilities. You might not be good at jumping high, but you might be good at jumping longer. Failing is part of the process on the way to success.

Team work helps you achieve faster

These programs always point out the team work, by showing kids how to do things together as a team. This is really important, because we can’t do everything ourselves. Sometimes it is better to combine our skills and tackle the problems together. People with different skills and different attributes usually produce much creative solutions.

Being Destructive will only destroy you

You can’t progress in life, if you keep destroying others’ thoughts and works. You should offer your help and try to assist people to the right direction without disrespecting their values. By being distractive, no one cares what you thing and no one cares about what you do.

Share your problems

As well as this can cause big problems for children, it can also play a distractive role in adults’ life. The things that bother you can grove into bigger problems, if you don’t share it with people. It is always good to let people know, what the problem is and how it affects you. It is good to talk.

Practice makes you better

Whatever you are attempting to do for the first time, you can only be better if you keep practicing your skills. If you don’t, your abilities will remain same as you started and they won’t improve. A lot of practice can make you better.

Things doesn’t go according to plan all the time

Unfortunately, we can’t predict everything. Therefore, we need to be strong and don’t lose our patience to accomplish our goals. Things can and will go wrong. We have the ability to make it right. A good plan is always the one that has alternatives.

Trying to learn is better than not knowing at all

Actually, children are very brave to ask whatever in their mind. It is usually adults who feel embarrassed to ask questions about the things they have lack of knowledge. If it costs one question to learn, then it is well worth to ask that question.

We can learn and improve ourselves regardless to our age. We should never under estimate the source of good knowledge. And we should not hesitate to put these knowledge into practice.

I hope I convinced you to wake up at 6:30 AM every morning to watch these programs :)

  1. i agree with the last point : “Trying to learn is better than not knowing at all”
    in some cases, i usually shame or afraid to ask something to other people. I remember when i was a child, i didn’t have that feeling at all.
    Seems you are a very wise father sir..

  2. Great post. I disagree with the first point though. You’ll be good at whatever you put your mind too. Many successful people move from one victory to the next. Arnold Schwartzenegger comes to mind. He focused on being Mr. Olympia and became it. Then he wanted to be the top movie star in the world. Mission accomplished. After that he wanted to become governor and he accomplished this goal too. Most people don’t realize that he was already nearly a millionaire with a successful brick-laying business before he became a movie star.

    Whatever you believe in you can achieve.

    I agree that you can be successful with whatever you want. But, we can’t really focus on everything.

    I’d love to be able to agree with you, Ryan but I honestly can’t. Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger made it to be Mr Olympia, but the guy in second place didn’t. Didn’t he believe he could do it? Didn’t he work incredibly hard too? He only came second, though.

    It’s true that if you never try, you’ll never succeed but at the same time, you won’t succeed just because you want to. It’s important to teach kids from an early stage that you have to really work hard to win but even if you do work hard, you have to face up to the fact that you can’t win every time.

  4. We as adults do not credit the intelligence of children enough. Bringing up 4 myself on my own has taught me just how smart and insightful little children really are.

  5. The truth is, the world could have been much simpler if we will all take a look at how a child’s mind work. Anyway I still watch cartoons and they are refreshing.
