Why is an adult’s perspective on life different from that of a child’s?
Adult’s perspective on life is always different from children because there is always a big generation gap and maturity level. The adults are well experienced towards the world and life. They know the harsh reality of life from which the children are unknown. Children mostly live in their own imaginary world and doesn’t have maturity. They cannot distinguish between what is right or wrong for them which their parents can do and parents always want good for their children. But this is not necessary that all their decisions are correct but most of the decisions are correct. So we should follow and understand what our parents say.
