It was easy to feel devalued as a child when you state an opinion on something and it gets disregarded for nothing other than age.
At a restaurant, my uncle told his kid he can't state his opinions on the food because he doesn't have enough 'experience' with dining out. The idea that experience is all important is a common mindset with adults.
But being able to develop your own opinion on things is equally important.
Honestly, I can get perspectives from children that I might not get on my own. And for me in my early 20's, maybe someone picks the same up from me.
It's important to keep an open mind.
