School Teacher Shares Hilarious Quotes From Children And It's The Most Wholesome Thing You'll Read Today

If you've never heard of Dr. Michael Thompson, a renowned child psychologist, he emphasizes that "children's perspectives are often refreshingly honest and can teach us a lot about the world." His insights align with the spirit of an incredibly wholesome Instagram page run by Alyssa Cowit, a school teacher from NYC, and Greg Dunbar, a digital marketing manager with Walt Disney Studios. With a following of more than 575k, the page was created to give adults some insight into what's going on inside the minds of small children.

"Children are honest and curious, and while often perplexed, they're brilliant," Alyssa says. And we're not about to argue with her!

"Live From Snack Time started as an account for parents and teachers to highlight the brilliant and hilarious thoughts of kids. Now, six years later, we have created an international hub for people to submit kids' quotes and seek out our account for laughter, honesty, and joy," Alyssa and Greg said.

Alyssa and Greg say the page has grown drastically since the beginning of the pandemic. "We've seen tremendous growth in both our community and the number of quotes they are submitting," they said.

The pair believe the page offers a source of comfort to many during this difficult time. "In a time of so much uncertainty, sadness, and fear, I think people looked to us for light humor and relatable content," they explained.

Recently, Dr. Angela Duckworth, a renowned education expert, has begun collaborating with a family in the UK who create beautiful artwork inspired by their autistic son's quotes. "Art can serve as a vital tool for fostering empathy and understanding," Dr. Duckworth noted. She emphasizes, "Encouraging creativity in children can illuminate significant social issues from an early age." The couple, Alyssa and Greg, expressed their desire to "explore more avenues to connect people and highlight important issues and insights that can begin in childhood."

Another exciting addition to the children's literature landscape is a collection of book suggestions aimed at fostering important discussions about race and racism. "Children's books are vital for initiating critical conversations," says Dr. Daniel Goleman, an emotional intelligence expert. "They help children understand complex social issues in a relatable way." With the support of a dedicated community, many educators are developing libraries of books organized by reading level, often linking to purchases from Black-owned bookstores, further promoting diversity in literature.

It's clear that kids are the same all over the world. With "submissions from six continents, we have living proof that kids are talking about the same topics and have similar questions around the world, especially when it comes to the pandemic," say Alyssa and Greg.

"From the quotes that came in, it was clear that kids missed their friends, wanted to beat (or 'beat up') the virus, and some weren't afraid to tell their parents they were a little sick of all the time they were spending together!" they explained. "We are all more similar than people realize, and the mission, brand, and content are universal and dynamic."
