Life Coach? Advisor?
I think this is so wrong on so many levels. The day I ask a 10 or 11 year old for advice, is the day I move into a mental institution and throw away the key and abdicate responsibility!

Would you seek out and take advice from your 5th grader?

Geeze! No wonder there are so many people in so much trouble. I see even the author is effusive about asking children to make adult decisions and be a life coach. Good Lord! Of course, if your kid is that much smarter than you are - the world must be a very scary place indeed. One wonders what these people did before they had an 11 year old to tell them how to run their lives effectively...

Sigh. It is one thing to listen to your children and let them help make choices in their lives... it is another to let your child make that kind of decision. Scary.

I think taking advice from those 5th graders that were having sex in a classroom recently would be a terrific idea. All parents could benefit from their sage advice in matters pertaining to all aspects of their lives...

Not for the issues that are the responsibility of us grown-ups, but I got guidance from my older daughter when I went shopping for clothes.
She has that gift.
Jimmy Carter caught grief for taking political advice from Amy when she was like, ten years old.
I won't go to the kids for the nuclear launch codes, I promise. But, "Does this shirt go with these?" Yup, I'll give weight to their advice.
