For most of us parents, the day starts with running after our kids, getting them off to school and in-between all the action that is happening, teach them a lesson or two. But in-between all the lessons that we teach our kids every day, it is most common that we forget most of them.

So, this article is once more taking a crash course in the little but very important lessons that for a change we can learn from our kids.

The most important meal of the day remains to be the breakfast. Even if you are on a weight loss program or having nothing tempting to offer like you do for your kids, it can’t be skipped.

Sometimes, it is best to be blunt with people, just the way you used to be with your relatives who just wanted you to do something for a small prize.

Yes, we should never stop questions and a lot of them. This is one lesson your toddler can teach you easily.

Try to be a true friend once more, just like you were when you were 12 years old. Just be truthful, loyal with absolutely no strings attached.

• All that seriousness is giving wrinkles to you and nothing else. So make play at a part of your work. You actually need only that much seriousness that a five year old has to get work done…well in almost all cases!
• Those shiny branded shoes, never really walked. Men don’t dip their toes in water….jump right in man!
• How much do you really hate the term, ‘we’ll see’. So, don’t find yourself saying it.
• So, how does your kid find out the miracle of the battery operated car running in front of him? Well, of course if you want to find out how something works, just disassemble it. And this is in reference to complex problems and not your LED TV.
• An eight year old doesn’t get credit cards…why? He needs to learn to save money to get that toy.
• So, your tummy doesn’t seem to see your weight. But kids don’t have tummy, they are just busy throwing baseballs, shooting hoops and jumping off things that seem to come out of nowhere. So fitness=fun.
• Is imagination really only for kids? We can definitely share the half real and half imaginary world as well.
• Homework is always awful. So, next time you step out of your car with office work and you’re all set to ruin your night, your marriage, your family…in fact your life.
• “Don’t eat that too much, you will get a tummy ache”. Guys, you also have a tummy.
• One of the coolest adults you knew was the ones who always made the time to listen to you. Well, I hope you are a cool adult also.
• Want to have a good time, do it with adrenaline as the drug of your choice and not beer, pot, cigarettes.

So, let’s just hug those kids tight…they are actually teaching us something good.
