You are the parent, supervisor, expert, the adult.  It is expected that you have the correct answers and all the perspectives on the problems as they arise. Or so you may think.  You have the relevant experience and have an opinion. It is all yours.

It is interesting when we take the time to listen. When someone puts something back to us in a way that suggests that our view is not necessarily universally accepted and that there are alternate viewpoints.

Take the time to listen. You may instinctively want to dismiss yet listen. Hear what they may be saying. If uncertain, ask questions. 

There is so much wisdom to gain from those who see through different eyes and hear through different ears.  If we take the time, expect enrichment, and who knows, you may learn something. Even from those with supposed less experience.
