While children open the eyes of their parents to many things, it is a specious claim to saythat they are the greater teachers. Children learn more from parents than their parents couldever learn from them.
First of all, children’s brains are undeveloped sponges and more receptive to learning thantheir adult parents’. Physiologically, the adult brain is less able to learn new things and more setin its ways; you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. On the other hand, children can learn newlanguages, do better at chess and the Game of Go, because their brains are open to learningnew concepts. They can think outside the box, because “the box” has not even been built yet.
Second of all, children who have educated parents speaking with wide vocabularies are morelikely to be successful and to master their native tongue. A study showing that smart childrenhelp their parents be more successful would be preposterous. For example, infants and evenolder children cannot teach their parents’ vocabulary at the same rate as their parents can teachthem, despite being able to pepper their speech with the like, totally awesome slang of the day.
At last, we must admit that experience counts for something. There is knowledge and thenthere is wisdom that comes from having seen and done things. Children do not have the yearsof accumulated experience that their parents inevitably have. These “life lessons” are the sortof thing parents want to pass on to their children. In contrast, children are not teaching theirparents not to touch the hot pan or to look both ways before crossing the road—essential bitsof knowledge that most of us learn from our parents.
The nascent brains of youth are more susceptible to learning from parents and we knowthat early childhood education has a lasting impact on children, just as we know that essentiallessons are passed from parents to children not vice versa. In summation, parents are thesuperior teachers in this relationship.

It seems intuitive that parents mainly teach and children mainly learn, but some believethat parents actually learn more from their kids than their kids learn from them. I agree withthis counterintuitive idea.
