kids say the darndest things

Besides just showcasing kids for primetime comedic purposes, there is something really admirable about people who turn to kids for directions to the truth. Or a truth, in some cases.

Obviously admirable for other reasons, Unicef values the opinion of a child. So awesome. Keeping the control in the hands of those who have little control in other aspects of their lives.

Check out some more information about their methodologies and rationales.

I encourage everyone to click through the actual findings, as they present it very nicely. But here are 10 imperatives they've listed for children of the world; BY children of the world.

1. Leave no child out
2. Put children first.
3. Care for every child.
4. Fight HIV/AIDS
5. Stop harming and exploiting children
6. Listen to children
7. Educate every child
8. Protect children from war
9. Protect the earth for children
10. Fight poverty; invest in children

None of these should serve as a surprise - but interesting to think about through the voice of children.
