Children are the best askers on the planet. If you are a former child yourself, you may recall this. 😜
They don't think "no" is something to fear or worry
about and they also bring other skills to their "asking game."
Three things:
1... They come from curiosity.
Kids have a natural curiosity and open-mindedness so they will ask about anything and everything. (Yes, this can be embarrassing sometimes, but they don't care so they win.)
2... They ask without fear.
Kids lack the inhibitions we have. They don't care what people will think of them and they have no fear of judgment. The end goal is what counts.
3... They don't make assumptions.
Kids have no preconceived notions so they don't talk themselves out of asking. They also have no shame in asking for more and more. Yes, this can get them in trouble but again, they don't care.
So, if you can keep these things in mind, you are halfway to a successful ask!
