Advice for a 10 Year Old

If I were to give a 10 year old advice, I would go about it in a different way than most would. As a kid you typically hear the “do what your heart tells you”, “don’t fall under peer pressure”, “be who you want to be”, etc. Instead I would make a point that you need to learn from your experiences more than focus on not doing things. Kids are always going to make bad decisions, but if or if not they learn from those choices is another thing. More and more kids are being introduced to bad choices at a young age and they face peer pressure at a young age; being able to help kids learn from their experiences will help them more than telling them not to do things for kids are the best at being defiant.
