This is both true. Children have a more natural connection to the earth as they have not been corrupted by technology and all that as you and I. Everything is new to them so they see things more true than we do. These are things that we have forgotten for sure and they do know more as they are born in this day and age, where we were born in a different time and without what we have today. They are to be appreciated for this and for many different things. This is what makes our children the future :)
