I swear Neil is more eloquent than me and I'm over twice his age. You can tell that the elders were moved by his maturity and how much wisdom he has for such a young person.
@@priyankamsharma1 I'm guessing because a lot of his viewpoint comes from Hinduism (he was talking about Karma) I am not religious but I've read about Hinduism a lot, and learn a lot from it
Neil is such a bright kid. He’s going to grow up and do so many great things. His maturity and intelligence is greatly shown in this video. His parents must be super proud.
Are we going to talk about how the kid just quoted an author from the 1930s-1940s as his one his favorite authors. HE IS READING BOOKS THAT THOSE PEOPLE GREW UP WITH
@augusto1126 Lots of kids don't read, let alone read books made 80 years ago. Most people don't. It's neat that he's been exposed to them, and even moreso that he lists them as his favorites
It honestly makes me worried for him. I was that kid and it’s a hard person to be. It’s hard to see and recognize all the bad in the world and know you can’t do anything about it. It’s hard to be plagued with questions and uncertainty constantly. It’s a blessing and a curse.
There’d be a lot to take away from conversations between them two, itd be beautiful to look back on too when Neil gets older since he’s definitely gonna be doing big things
They were my favourite 2 from this group. You could tell Gwen was blown away by Neil’s intelligence. He’s a great kid, makes me hopeful for the future generations❤
The way Gwen looks at Neil when he’s talking. She looks so proud of him with the way he speaks even though they’re strangers. Neil is such a bright kid.
I feel like the kids were teaching them, and the elderly were kinda reiterating what the kids said, but i hope they BOTH learned something from the experience
the couple seriously brought me to tears, to be with someone for so long is so incredible and I always admire when people are able to find such a strong connection w/ someone
Neil (the boy) didn’t just turn out this way. His parents invested heavily in his moral upbringing. Imagine if our elected officials had even half of Neil’s wisdom and morality. What a better world this would be. All six participants were amazing in their contributions.
True in part. It is partly the parents and partly the individual. Children can be so different within the same family. He is a very thoughtful individual.
This is the best middle ground episode. It’s not complex nor is it controversial. It’s just a wholesome discussion between two age groups. That’s something I wish middle ground was all about.
But they are about people with different views, races, religion, ethnicities, and etc having discussions on different topics. I love their videos so I can see different perspectives on things from other people.
When I was 9 it was around 2013 lol so I was Just like this because I'm of this generation lol ( I'm a teen now lol), and altho our generation has it hard we are Alot smarter because we are deep thinkers lol!?~😱🤭🤩😅💀☠
I loooove how innocent the kids are regarding the love topic. They should be that clueless and it makes me happy. Don’t worry about romantic love until way later for your own sake lol.
@Devin I think Shelby means that a lot of people are not only after romantic love or maybe that romantic love has died all together. Correct me if I am wrong @shelby speaks
@@0-0...67 Then Shelby missed the point because the prompt was “I have been in love” not “have you ever loved someone”. “In love” has romantic implications.
The young boy is so eloquent 🙌🏼. Also, I think older people are more comfortable with the idea of death because you have already lived through many things and have had the time to make peace with the fact that you are going to pass away at some point.
I mean it’s not all parents. Could be but can’t discredit him. A lot of the things I know and believe are the opposite of my parents taught me. Just depends
i was a relatively smart kid but I and other kids around me were not even close to being as knowledgeable as them. I dont get how they are like this at 9..
Neil's parents didn't make him intelligent. At best, they guided him. I was valedictorian and my parents ignored me almost my entire life. I just got lucky with the brain I was born with, and I worked hard. My parents had nothing to do with. I certainty didn't get my intelligence from them.
@@Adelicows I'm sorry you didn't get support from your parents, but you are just projecting. It's accepted that intelligence is not static, and that children learn extremely fast and efficiently.

@@AdelicowsDNA says you do. The ability to absorb Information and understand complexities definitely is a contribution from them whether you like it or not. You should forgive your parents. Not outwardly but inwardly. It would allow you to know the love you're meant to no matter their ignorance.
Well, the other two were really 9-year-olds and Neil was already beyond his age. His composure and knowledge was amazing wooow and Gwen is also a person I would love to talk to.
i like Jordana because she was able to make her own decisions. She chose to step in or not after hearing questions without looking at others. Just because she believed in it. Neil might have better vocabulary but Jordana was not afraid to move forward or to stay still alone. That's a fantastic ability too.
I agree with there. Like I loved the boy he was very wise and well spoken and his voice would make for an excellent therapist or mellow singer for sure I love his peaceful demeanor even when the tough questions arose but that he was still pretty even with some things with everyone. I loved the elder folks too makes me proud to have such respectable elders. And you know what else I hope you all have a wonderful day on here too.
I wanna see an episode with Niel Jordana and Lily every 5 years from now , would be really interesting to see how their opinions evolve through different stages of their lives
There's a TV show called 7 UP with this same idea. Starting in the UK in the 1950s they interviewed kids every 7 years about their life. They even interviewed the children, spouses & grandchildren of the original cast
Okay can we have more of this kind of talks nowadays?! It feels so uplifting, enlightening and heartwarming, even as an adult, to watch elders and children getting to discuss about deep things of life like this. 2 age groups that we should listen to and learn from way more than we actually do...
Is Neil even 9?😂😂 he thinks way to deep than me at 27 💀 i love how Lily and Jordana also spoke there minds ,all three kids were beautiful and deep thinkers in their on way 😁
You see some bunch kids in the middle ground talking about life and it’s very interesting How they are experiencing their childhood so I am glad that they talk about their experience as children it made me happy to see them talking about them about how the way life works for them
Why when I found out Jack and Millee are married and have been married for SIXTY THREE YEARS did I just burst into tears? What a lovely, lucky couple, I'm glad that found each other and have been able to hold onto each other for so long.
Lily and Jordana are so thoughtful! Neil is obviously a very bright kid, but a lot of people are neglecting Lily and Jordana’s capabilities as well! All 3 of them are so precious and I hope they all get to be the people they want.
@@swervinirvin4574 Okay so what’s the issue? People can uplift Neil and I can also uplift Neil, Jordana, and Lily. Everyone deserves to be celebrated in this video whether you think so or not. You act like i’m disagreeing or something
@@KilahLuna There's no issue per se. But it's also okay to accept that some people are smarter and more articulate than others. Celebrating everyone is implying it's not okay to allow some people to stick out as being particularly special. For example, what about the other two's responses did you find particularly impactful?
What does death being part of life have to do with it being scary? There's no correlation with that answer. You can say that about anything that scares you. Being part of life does not mean it's not scary.
From the little things we've seen in this episode, Jack and Millee's relationship looks so wholesome! The way he was holding her chair every time she was sitting down and their lovely points in the "I have been in love" prompt made me tear up. I could genuinely listen to the seniors in this video talk all day... All three seem like wonderful people, so full of empathy and wonderful experiences
Neil is absolutely so well-spoken, and such a deep thinker, that it makes me a little sad. As a former "gifted child" myself, I know that the price I paid for that gift, was being unable to make friendships with people my own age. I'm having to spend my 20's and 30's catching up on THAT skill. It's frustrating, but it could have been worse. I could have gotten crippling perfectionism, or a constant state of panic. I know people who got those curses in exchange for their blessings. I merely hope that the price he will have to pay for his gift... will be one that he can handle.
This is such a lovely comment it resonates with me. I hope to be this well rounded in thought one day. I try for it, but unfortunately I have that constant state of panic....hahaha
@@beth2729 Aw thank you! I certainly had the panic-brain for a long time myself. Anxiety meds help, eheh. My mom was a big influence, she naturally tries to see the best in everyone, see reasons for behavior, and gets down on herself when she can't understand, like, the worst people on the planet! And I'm naturally judgmental so I don't have THAT problem lol. But seeing her reactions to the news, that helped build my "talks like mom" part of my brain. So I'm grateful to her :)
I really appreciate your sentiment here, and I get it, so I feel for you. I share your hopes for Neil, these children, and their generation. However you may be to a degree projecting somewhat regarding young Neil here. He seems bright, but the label "Gifted" and what it means for children who receive it has not changed, as you said it can be a blessing or a curse, so one should not diagnose, pathologize, or use it as a label for kids as you once were at about the same age.
If they were all indians and they understood what he actually is doing, he would have touched everyone's feet.....thats how elders bless kids in India....but he didn't do....coz they wont get it and think he lost coin or something.
I feel like Gwen is somebody you can talk to for years on end, and still learn new things about her history or a new life lesson. I just love how much respect she shows her peers here. She poses great prompts for the group - kind of leading the conversation like a teacher would.
I really love and respect that Gwen said she thinks kids today have it rough. We are so used to hearing "kids these days are so lazy and soft and have it so easy." It was very refreshing to actually hear an elder acknowledge there are unique challenges the new generations are facing It was also very mature of the kids to say they recognize the elders probably had tough lives too
totally - I started crying before already and at that point I was sobbing - this was all so wholesome. and I absolutely loved listening to all six of them.
@@HemantKumar-id3jg I’ve never had a crush irl. The only people I ever had crush on were probably celebrities whom I have zero chance with or animated characters
Yes, there is that, but he also acts like a balanced kid whose parents talk with him regularly about the realities of life & don't just prop him up in front of the TV, expecting it to raise him. He's got great conversational skills & speaks easily about tough topics as well as easy ones.
This was one of my favourites. The innocence of these kids and the wisdom of these elderly individuals was just precious. I loved the way they listened to each other. So many people could learn from their example.
The complete honesty is absolutely refreshing. I appreciate every individual on this panel for expressing their true thoughts on each subject. Bravo! 👏
If I was just reading a transcript I'd think Neil was one of the 90 year olds. He is way ahead for his age, or any age really. His parents are doing an amazing job.
I'm not surprised a kid like him would've experienced bullying but it does make me sad. I'm hoping his parents help him learn to balance when to ignore negative attention and when to stand his ground, because it's likely kids like him grow up to repress their feelings since their parents always tell them to ignore bullying and negative comments towards them.
Wow Neil is a very intelligent boy and he’s going to be known when he grows up. It’s sad that kids like him will be bullied but the intelligence and the politeness is there as a genuine human. The discrimination he will face because he’s not a Christian or white is sad to me because of just how well spoken he is.
Okay Jordana, I love the transparency in admitting the “bad” side and occasionally thinking mean things because that’s human. It’s how you act in those moments that counts.
@@arduousPopsicle Exactly. Especially when she said she didn't act on those thoughts. It's okay to be mad, Jordana. Feeling angry does not make you a mean or bad person.
Aww Jordana “I have a bad side. I have thought bad things I just try not to say them” 😂 It’s so interesting and hilarious to get inside a 9 year olds mind.
@@mykacastro410 I thought it was great that she acknowledged her 'bad side' and that she gets angry easily. I was like that as a child too. That self-awareness is amazing. She seems like a great kid! Love from Sweden!
Gwen speaks with what seems like a love and wisdom gained over a beautiful lifetime. I also loved how she spoke to the children as equals, as did all the others. But she particularly spoke to them at their conversational level, asked them questions in a thought provoking level on their level as well.
If a 90 y/o is saying that their glad they're not a part of this generation despite everything they've been through? That should tell you something.....
I think we're all so used to the hardships that we deal with on a daily basis as a society that we normalize them. What that causes is for them to seem not as bad as someone who doesn't find them to be normal might see them as. So, the kids find the bad things they go through to be bad but also just a part of their ordinary lives and hence managable, and what the 90 year olds have gone through to be unknown and terrible. And vise versa. Personally, I still believe life is, as a whole, easier today than it was 90 years ago, but there are different problems now.
Millee's words at the end were golden life advice. Suffering is unavoidable. Don't focus on why it happened to you. But respond correctly to the hardships that inevitably arise and you will go forward in life.
The thing is, is they really aren't. We just infantilize kids so much that when we see kids being smart, we automatically assume they're an exception to the rule. I'm not saying they're all typical of 9-year-olds, really just that this kind of intelligence/wisdom is not as uncommon in their age group as everyone assumes and expects.
It was so enjoyable to watch the young and the elderly sit down and have a conversation and share their experiences , their hopes, their fears with each other. I'm sure they all learned something from this, I know I did .
@@adongakot4480 everyone knows how to read but this kid is truly intelligent. Even his transitional words we're off the charts. I bet this kid could write an essay and get an A+ in a college class.
I was blessed to have both of my Grandmothers. Both lived to the incredible age of 101. I just wish I’d asked them more questions about their lives as children and growing up in the early 20th century. But oh, the changes and discoveries that occurred during their lifetimes are astounding. I dearly miss them both.
All 3 are wonderful children the way they sit quietly and listen, absorbing everything the elderly people say. They are all so polite and and independent thinkers their parents must be so incredibly proud.
If you stay out of social media and venture the world and appreciate nature and the simple things than you’d be much happier. You start to appreciate people even more especially those who are always with you.
@Logan Paul my point is that you need to know how and when to use it. If you’re using social media just to gossip, take pictures of you looking for validation, etc. all of the wrong reasons then you’ll be pretty much unhappy. If you use it to communicate with family, a dear friend, work, etc then I don’t see the problem. Social media is like a double edge sword. It can be beautiful and yet can be dangerous and a loop of constant depression. I talked to this because of self experience.
I swear this boy has more self-awareness than some of the guys I work with.

Neil has a more expansive vocabulary at 9 than many American adults...

I was like, OHHHH WOWWWWW. He’s like a grown up, I mean the way he talks

Why when I found out Jack and Millee are married and have been married for SIXTY THREE YEARS did I just burst into tears? What a lovely, lucky couple, I'm glad that found each other and have been able to hold onto each other for so long.
You're a gentle soul.
I cried too.
This also made me cry because I recently went through a break up.
Lily and Jordana are so thoughtful! Neil is obviously a very bright kid, but a lot of people are neglecting Lily and Jordana’s capabilities as well! All 3 of them are so precious and I hope they all get to be the people they want.
We get it let’s include everyone . Overall Neil stands out to be just more knowledgeable so people enjoy hearing him express his thoughts more
@@swervinirvin4574 Okay so what’s the issue? People can uplift Neil and I can also uplift Neil, Jordana, and Lily. Everyone deserves to be celebrated in this video whether you think so or not. You act like i’m disagreeing or something
Jordana saying she’ll invest in stocks 😭💕
Jordana is unreal! She is my favourite, she's reflective and honest.
@@KilahLuna There's no issue per se. But it's also okay to accept that some people are smarter and more articulate than others. Celebrating everyone is implying it's not okay to allow some people to stick out as being particularly special. For example, what about the other two's responses did you find particularly impactful?
The way Gwen said "Death is just a part of life" sounds so much like Forrest Gump's mum and I'm here for it!
Gwen is gorgeous!!!! I love her attire. And you gotta love Forest Gump's mom and how strong her character was.
What does death being part of life have to do with it being scary? There's no correlation with that answer. You can say that about anything that scares you. Being part of life does not mean it's not scary.
@@mr.e7541 it means its universal. you're not alone
@@galacticbambi949 so they were under the impression that they were the only ones that died.
@@galacticbambi949 I don't see how that would make you feel any better about it.
From the little things we've seen in this episode, Jack and Millee's relationship looks so wholesome! The way he was holding her chair every time she was sitting down and their lovely points in the "I have been in love" prompt made me tear up. I could genuinely listen to the seniors in this video talk all day... All three seem like wonderful people, so full of empathy and wonderful experiences
Neil is absolutely so well-spoken, and such a deep thinker, that it makes me a little sad.
As a former "gifted child" myself, I know that the price I paid for that gift, was being unable to make friendships with people my own age. I'm having to spend my 20's and 30's catching up on THAT skill. It's frustrating, but it could have been worse. I could have gotten crippling perfectionism, or a constant state of panic. I know people who got those curses in exchange for their blessings.
I merely hope that the price he will have to pay for his gift... will be one that he can handle.
Lord, I am paying that price today. Does it ever get better, though? Do you find your tribe? :')
Reporting for roll call of deep thinking children and teens.
This is such a lovely comment it resonates with me. I hope to be this well rounded in thought one day. I try for it, but unfortunately I have that constant state of panic....hahaha
@@beth2729 Aw thank you! I certainly had the panic-brain for a long time myself. Anxiety meds help, eheh.
My mom was a big influence, she naturally tries to see the best in everyone, see reasons for behavior, and gets down on herself when she can't understand, like, the worst people on the planet! And I'm naturally judgmental so I don't have THAT problem lol. But seeing her reactions to the news, that helped build my "talks like mom" part of my brain. So I'm grateful to her :)
I really appreciate your sentiment here, and I get it, so I feel for you. I share your hopes for Neil, these children, and their generation. However you may be to a degree projecting somewhat regarding young Neil here. He seems bright, but the label "Gifted" and what it means for children who receive it has not changed, as you said it can be a blessing or a curse, so one should not diagnose, pathologize, or use it as a label for kids as you once were at about the same age.
Both groups blend so well.... The innocence and the experience is so enlightening.
Started crying at the end, when Neil thanked the elders and they looked at him with all the love in the world. How beautiful and touching 🥺❤️
Me too! So sweet! ✨
If they were all indians and they understood what he actually is doing, he would have touched everyone's feet.....thats how elders bless kids in India....but he didn't do....coz they wont get it and think he lost coin or something.
That's what's missing today. Respect for our elderly.
Neil has lived many lifetimes. He might be a kid but hes definitely back from many past lifetimes. This was one of my favorites so far.
the admiration that Gwen looks at Neil with is like a grandmother looking at her grandchild and idk, i just really like it
Neil is so well spoken… his understanding of life is amazing
OMG IKR!!!! How articulate and knowledgeable he is!!! I was nowhere near like that at 9!!! I'm not sure I am even now at 34!!! U go NEIL!!!
He's gonna be treated less for knowing more. That's society for you.
Indian's are smart people.
@S most are
I feel like Gwen is somebody you can talk to for years on end, and still learn new things about her history or a new life lesson. I just love how much respect she shows her peers here. She poses great prompts for the group - kind of leading the conversation like a teacher would.
She exudes so much wisdom, I'd love to sit at her feet and just listen to her all day.
True omggg
Something about her is so warm. Like she has endless love to give. A very special person.
Her voice and manner are so warm and soothing. I would love to watch an hour-long interview with her!
My husband peripherally watched 2 minutes and said "where did they find these kids?" 👏🏾
I could listen to Neil and Gwen all day
I really love and respect that Gwen said she thinks kids today have it rough. We are so used to hearing "kids these days are so lazy and soft and have it so easy." It was very refreshing to actually hear an elder acknowledge there are unique challenges the new generations are facing
It was also very mature of the kids to say they recognize the elders probably had tough lives too
My heart melted every time Jack hold out the chair for the ladies. That's more than chivalry, it's integrity.
Yes! I burst out in tears when he did that. It was like a lost Art being revealed.
I am amazed not many talked about it. It was soooo sweet!
I cried at 6:10 when Jack "introduced" the love of his life. Isn't that everyone's wish?
totally - I started crying before already and at that point I was sobbing - this was all so wholesome. and I absolutely loved listening to all six of them.
that’s beautiful but absolutely not everyone’s wish! 😊
Nah, I want to be single forever and ever
It’s so wholesome
It's not. But in this case it's adorable.
When I was 9 I thought I was intelligent but this Neil kid takes it to the next level.... I've been in awe of him since he began to speak.
Neil seems as if this is his second or third time living. He is such a brilliant kid.
Im pleasantly surprised and in awe at how intelligent Neil is for his age , his parents are doing an excellent job raising him!
A lot of kids are intelligent. Adults just look down at them.
^ indeed. Just create a space where the kid can talk freely and is seen for their opinion and you'll see how smart they are
The way the girl in the blue talking about how she doesn’t have a crush and doesn’t want anyone to have a crush on her made me laugh
it was adorable
same
Is it weird that I hope the same as an adult ?
@@HemantKumar-id3jg nope :) im kinda like that too
@@HemantKumar-id3jg I’ve never had a crush irl. The only people I ever had crush on were probably celebrities whom I have zero chance with or animated characters
These kids are so much more respectful than most adults on this series
Neil is wise beyond his years. This vid brought me to tears. The innocence of our youth and the wisdom of our elders are indispensable.
Neil is like a philosopher in a small persons body! He’s so intelligent and well spoken and thinks deeply about things!
The way Gwen looks at the kids when they talk, especially Neil is so heart warming ! This video truly is wholesome.
I hope you'll have a separate episode of Neil. I love his perspectives. Wonder how he was raised. I'm 31 and I am learning from him. :)
All the kids contributed extremely great insights. Neil’s on another level of expressing emotions and feelings. His parents, salute to you guys.
when Neil quoted the little prince my heart exploded a little
My absolute favourite.
he’s going to be a wonderful adult🥺
Everyone is praising Neil's parents.but I do think Neil is an inborn sensitive and intelligent boy.
Yes, there is that, but he also acts like a balanced kid whose parents talk with him regularly about the realities of life & don't just prop him up in front of the TV, expecting it to raise him.
He's got great conversational skills & speaks easily about tough topics as well as easy ones.
He's a Sigma male.
Neil is brilliant. I can't wait until he's in the news for doing something incredible one day. Truly gives me hope for the future
This was one of my favourites. The innocence of these kids and the wisdom of these elderly individuals was just precious. I loved the way they listened to each other. So many people could learn from their example.
Hanging out with elderly people was my favourite thing to do as a kid. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet so many
I'm really impressed by niel having a memorized book quote. All of the children had great ideas, and I love how the elders gave them advice
Real!
Read this as he said it
And the nine year olds talked way to mature for there age
okay my heart is melting over this!!! Neil is also going to grow up to be sweet and filled with so much compassion!!
The complete honesty is absolutely refreshing. I appreciate every individual on this panel for expressing their true thoughts on each subject. Bravo! 👏
Apparently Neil Parents has done a phenomenal job in Raising him. What a eloquent speaker and profound little guy.
Jordana is that kind of person that people seem to underrate their intelligence. Her intelligence is understated.
If I was just reading a transcript I'd think Neil was one of the 90 year olds. He is way ahead for his age, or any age really. His parents are doing an amazing job.
No. They have so much more relaxed confidence.
This is the first and only middle ground episode that I've actually watch from beginning to end. I'm glad I watched it. Thanks for posting.
I love how resilient Neil is despite his being bullied. He's such an intelligent gentleman.
He wasn't bullied lol he never said he was. It seemed like his parents had a conversation about bullying with him and he's just reflecting it.
@@jhsemoxitha3821 17:28 lol he literally says he's been bullied.
@@jhsemoxitha3821 17:30 he literally says "I have been bullied..."
I'm not surprised a kid like him would've experienced bullying but it does make me sad. I'm hoping his parents help him learn to balance when to ignore negative attention and when to stand his ground, because it's likely kids like him grow up to repress their feelings since their parents always tell them to ignore bullying and negative comments towards them.
@@suds-p important yes. But mostly, I think its best ignored. And he knows it.
Wow Neil is a very intelligent boy and he’s going to be known when he grows up. It’s sad that kids like him will be bullied but the intelligence and the politeness is there as a genuine human. The discrimination he will face because he’s not a Christian or white is sad to me because of just how well spoken he is.
FFS don't say this.
i dont think he will care, hes truly enlightened
In some US states being a Christian is a reason to be bullied, hated and discriminated
@@vervetech9395 no it isnt, christians are the main religion in the US.
@@adshaj the secular religion is the biggest "believe the science"
Okay Jordana, I love the transparency in admitting the “bad” side and occasionally thinking mean things because that’s human. It’s how you act in those moments that counts.
That was a major highlight for me. Admitting such thing that we all do. I really commend her for that
It also made me sad thinking, well you’re not a bad person for those thoughts hon. But it was a very nice take
Yes! She’s integrated shadow at a much earlier age than so many!
I couldn’t agree more. Best genuine response!
@@arduousPopsicle Exactly. Especially when she said she didn't act on those thoughts. It's okay to be mad, Jordana. Feeling angry does not make you a mean or bad person.
The fact that Neil has a favorite Author and can quote it 😮 I can hear him speak all day long wow ❤
Aww Jordana “I have a bad side. I have thought bad things I just try not to say them” 😂
It’s so interesting and hilarious to get inside a 9 year olds mind.
im the aunt. it is very iteresting when shes mad hahahah but she is very helpful and sweet baby.
I didn’t know nine year olds thought about investing in stocks?😢
@@mykacastro410 I thought it was great that she acknowledged her 'bad side' and that she gets angry easily. I was like that as a child too. That self-awareness is amazing. She seems like a great kid!
Love from Sweden!
It’s great how self reflective she is!
Shes cute. 🌻💛
Gwen speaks with what seems like a love and wisdom gained over a beautiful lifetime. I also loved how she spoke to the children as equals, as did all the others. But she particularly spoke to them at their conversational level, asked them questions in a thought provoking level on their level as well.
I guess you learn and realize that we are not so different than children.
Gwen is a goddess. Wish she were my grandma.
Gwen is a Queen Mother! She possesses what we call "Mother's Wit"! It Is loving wisdom and guidance rooted in truth with an undeniable warmth. ❤❤❤
If a 90 y/o is saying that their glad they're not a part of this generation despite everything they've been through? That should tell you something.....
IMHO. Not because it's too difficult today, but rather because they don't understand this new world.
Definitely not.
I think we're all so used to the hardships that we deal with on a daily basis as a society that we normalize them. What that causes is for them to seem not as bad as someone who doesn't find them to be normal might see them as. So, the kids find the bad things they go through to be bad but also just a part of their ordinary lives and hence managable, and what the 90 year olds have gone through to be unknown and terrible. And vise versa.
Personally, I still believe life is, as a whole, easier today than it was 90 years ago, but there are different problems now.
@@JarinCOD No, because they are contented in their own nature. People like YOU, perhaps fall on the group of ravenous and materialistic herd.
@@JarinCOD yeah, i agree
I feel like i can listen to this little boy talk all day. So elequently spoken.
Gwen was so sweet and the way she talked to the kids and listened to them was so meaningful
Millee's words at the end were golden life advice. Suffering is unavoidable. Don't focus on why it happened to you. But respond correctly to the hardships that inevitably arise and you will go forward in life.
These children especially Neil, are so wise, wiser than their age. It's obvious Neil is a reader. I love them all❤
The thing is, is they really aren't. We just infantilize kids so much that when we see kids being smart, we automatically assume they're an exception to the rule. I'm not saying they're all typical of 9-year-olds, really just that this kind of intelligence/wisdom is not as uncommon in their age group as everyone assumes and expects.
@peterlewis2178 idk about that children in America often suprise ne how behind they are
I wouldn't say he's wise. Since he is just connecting a lot of information from his parents/books etc. he is definitely incredibly smart
My mom and I watched this video together and she said that Neil reminded her of me. I'm honored honestly.
@@pink.hibiscus_vlogs ,
It was so enjoyable to watch the young and the elderly sit down and have a conversation and share their experiences , their hopes, their fears with each other. I'm sure they all learned something from this, I know I did .
Gwen seems like the teacher everyone loves and she knows kids so well.
the world needs more people like Niel, great ensemble this episode
Which means the world needs more people like his parents
I think he is Indian-American
@@Rohit-cj6eb yeah he’s Hindu as he mentioned karma
Absolutely not. He’s not normal
@ArmanAditya Basu that’s true but we are products of our environment, especially at that young age.
Neil is a grown up trapped in kids body. He speaks so eloquently and makes solid strong philosophical notions you can ponder on. Amazing kid.
shows the importance of READING!
@@adongakot4480 everyone knows how to read but this kid is truly intelligent. Even his transitional words we're off the charts. I bet this kid could write an essay and get an A+ in a college class.
I was blessed to have both of my Grandmothers. Both lived to the incredible age of 101. I just wish I’d asked them more questions about their lives as children and growing up in the early 20th century. But oh, the changes and discoveries that occurred during their lifetimes are astounding. I dearly miss them both.
Neil whipping out that The Little Prince quote, he's such an impressive person already. I can only imagine what he's going to achieve in 10-15 years
This was my favourite ever episode Jubilee! Please make another one, especially with Neil!
Love you Annie ❤️🤗.
Had an emotional ride throughout, what a great channel to learn thing, that I shd have in schools
Come here after your short video
Ironic comment award goes to you, congrats.
You learn personal opinion in school? Lol goofy comment
Hey! What about a review of this on your channel next?
So true oh my hat
All 3 are wonderful children the way they sit quietly and listen, absorbing everything the elderly people say. They are all so polite and and independent thinkers their parents must be so incredibly proud.
Seeing elderly couples that are still in love is the cutest thing to me. To have someone you care about so deeply for so long is truly beautiful!
These 9 y/o kids (especially Neil) talk more maturely than me who is 19
Same 💗💀 I wouldn’t talk at all though because of social anxiety-
If you stay out of social media and venture the world and appreciate nature and the simple things than you’d be much happier. You start to appreciate people even more especially those who are always with you.
@Logan Paul my point is that you need to know how and when to use it. If you’re using social media just to gossip, take pictures of you looking for validation, etc. all of the wrong reasons then you’ll be pretty much unhappy. If you use it to communicate with family, a dear friend, work, etc then I don’t see the problem. Social media is like a double edge sword. It can be beautiful and yet can be dangerous and a loop of constant depression. I talked to this because of self experience.
Why do you think that is? Don't answer here, just think about it.
@@legoshirocha Why are you assume this person has a social media
I could listen to Gwen tell us things all day long. Love her ❤️
These kids made me bawl, so intelligent so young, learned so sooo much; and appreciated that tree analogy more than I could try and express
