Innocence and maturity of the child

A friend posted this video on face book today and I am captivated by it. It’s a very good illustration of how knowledge (both language and body language/mannerisms) is transferred from parent to child and how the knowledge is acquired by the child.

What improves with age?

A face book friend of mine recently turned 47 and thanked her facebook friends for the birthday wishes. But she also added that even though the “wisdom of age” is great, it is unfortunate that age comes with other added attachments including aches and pains and hormonal imbalances. To which others added a variety of physical pitfalls of aging including dementia, failing eyesight and hearing. And finally, someone suggested the ultimate statement of all, that actually when we think about it, absolutely nothing improves with age.
