This is a young country,” Kennedy went on, his voice getting louder, “founded by young men and still young in heart. The world is changing, the old ways will not do. It is time for a new generation of leadership to cope with new problems and new opportunities.” Even Kennedy’s enemies agreed that his speech that day was stirring. He turned Truman’s challenge around: the issue was not his inexperience but the older generation’s monopoly on power.” ………………… Robert Greene

When you see a young person or enterprise trying to come up you should not frustrate that person rather you need to encourage them as they may go beyond what you can imagine.
That young kid trying to learn to walk or talk should not be seen as a bother, you should embrace him perhaps in future days he could be the one to send to pick parcels, deliver messages or gather important information. His inspiring message may be what will be uplifting your spirits.
That opinion your kid is giving to you should not be despised based on his age, you need to judge it on merit bases. Everyone has his or her own unique characteristics.
The message delivered to you may be the new way of carrying out activities. Frank Epperson when aged only 11 years in 1905 mixed some sugary soda powder with water and left it out overnight, the night was cold and the mixture froze. The day that followed in the morning Epperson tasted the icy concoction. It felt sweet. He named it Epsicle and started selling it to his neighbours. That is how ice pop was invented. Had the people have ignored Epperson his idea could not have materialized.
You should never ignore those who have come up with an idea regardless of their age.
In the bible the book of Jeremiah chapter 1 from verse 4-10 the word of the Lord came to me, saying, before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young. But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord. Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.
Jeremiah felt young to prophesy to the nations but God had put words in his mouth and given him authority to establish kingdoms at the same time destroy others. Whenever Jeremiah spoke it was God speaking through him so ignoring was ignoring the owner of the message.
