Children are wiser than adults in some parts of life. The mind of a child learns easier and quicker than a "set in the ways" mind of an adult. For example, students that I see can pick up on technology easier than my much older parents. I've also witnessed children learn many languages where an adult struggles more with learning additional languages. Children are wiser in these ways, but adults think through situations in a better fashion most times. Learning at a younger age is easier, but learning your whole life is what makes one an intelligent adult.

Another case in point is that children think they know more than adults. Then they grow up and realize their teachers, parents, and other adults were not nearly as wrong as they initially thought. That is one of life's great mysteries.
