The main life lessons kids under age ten learn are basic social skills, reading, writing, and math. The most important thing I learned before I hit double digits would be how to talk.

Children learn to share with others. They also learn the basics of right and wrong and manners. I think manners are most important because it gives you communicating skills. With these skills you can learn from others and make friends. Being able to communicate with others is crucial to starting and building your life.

They learn the basic lessons about sharing and caring for other people. That was the most important lesson that I learned. It is important to learn how to care for people and get along. You normally start learning that at a very young age.

Under the age of 10, children learn what the world is like and how the people in it live. They learn about reality and its boundaries, and how they can follow their dreams through hard work. The most important thing I learned was that nobody is perfect. We are all, from the day of our conception, flawed in some way, and that is fine. That is what makes us human. And all the hardships on the road of life are the simple fact that your life only brings new beginnings, it is your choice whether it brings an ending. Life is something that must be cherished, and our flaws are just a part of that and should be cherished just as much.

As a ten year old, life lessons appear to be very simplistic. Teaching children this young consists mostly of social values. You're taught at a young age to treat others as you want to be treated, and overall be a nice person. It is not until you are older that values become more complicated in nature.

Children under 10 years of age develop many different skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. They learn how to be polite, how to communicate, and basic academic concepts. Probably the most important thing you learn when you are less then 10 years old, is how to communicate with others because you are eventually going to need to interact with another human being.

Preceding the acquisition of ten years of age, children are taught basic fundamentals of life in most households. These typically include instruction regarding the actions that are socially acceptable, the treatment of other human beings, the power of words, and so forth. These educations are necessary for the success of children in social interaction and developing themselves into more advanced and educated individuals. In life before I clocked ten years on this planet, I learned that common decency customarily circulates in most populations. Out of my many life lessons, that was probably the most essential to my welfare.

The most important thing that I learned before I was ten was to value the little things in life that make you happy. Most children under the age of ten learn the basic things you need to know in life, like how to act in public and how to tell someone if you need help or are in trouble.

Children learn to know what choices are right from wrong. They learn do always use your manners and how to act around other people. They learn how to make friends too. The most important thing I learned was how to use my manners and how to advance social skills with other people.

When you are a child you learn to get along with others. Kids under the age of ten also learn how to make new friends and what is acceptable in public. One important lesson I learned is the difference between behavior in public versus around friends and family.

Kids under the age of ten learn the fundamentals of life. They should know how to communicate and be kind to others. Kids should know how to be polite and how to nicely play with others. Life skills are very important and kids should learn them at a young age so they can always have them

When you're under the age of ten, you learn almost everything you know from your parents. You learn things like not to steal or lie and that it's polite to chew with your mouth closed. One of the most important things that I learned when I was under the age of ten was how to generally be a good friend. That means being a good listener, being caring and thoughtful, being trustworthy, being polite, being honest, etc. This is something you'll need to know no matter how old you are.

I think the big life lessons smaller kids learn are basic manners. This can be sharing with others and saying please and thank you. Most kids also learn how to follow what their parents tell them. All these skills allow them to make good choices and start making friends. The most important thing I learned was how to share get along with others.

Some life lessons children usually learn under the age of 10 are to be kind to others, treat others the way you want to be treated, keep your hands and feet to yourself, and look both ways before you cross the street. I believe the most important thing I learned before I was 10 was to treat others the way you want to be treated. I say this because nobody wants to be treated badly. It helps to know that because you will know to be kind to others.

I think that the type of life lessons kids under ten learn is the simple stuff. Like for example, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Or sharing is caring. The most important thing I learned was to never lie.

When you're under 10 years old, you learn a lot. You learn the basics of life, such as reading, writing, talking, sharing, manners, and friendships. I think the most important of those would be friendships and relationships with others. This teaches you how to care for others and treat them how you would want to be treated. It also determines who you are as a person and can help you make lifelong friends.

Around the age of ten children would be learning manors and responsibility. When I was under the age of ten I learned about responsibility because as progressing on through elementary into middle school you gained more responsibilities.

Children under 10 learn what is generally good and bad. I learned stealing is a bad thing and hurting people was bad too. Also I learned to treat people how I would like to be treated.

People under the age of 10 learn all of the basic things that you need to know to function in a society. They learn how to interact with people. They learn how to use their manners such as please and thank you. Teachers also teach them the basics in school as well. The most important to me is the basic school knowledge that they learn. Learning this can allow for them to learn more things at the time to come.

Children learn what is necessary for life when they are growing up. Some of the most important lessons taught relate to ethics and what is considered right or wrong. Also, children learn how to make good decisions that will benefit them. The most important life lessons that I learned related to how to act properly and treat others.

Children under the age of ten learn the basics. They learn basic social skills like how to greet people, how to interact with different groups of people, and how to make friends. The most important thing I learned when I was young is how to act around people, whether it be with friends, family, or strangers.

Before the age of 10 you learn basic life lessons. These could include sharing, kindness, responsibility, and how to act in public. Before 10 you are not developed or an adult so more complex lessons cannot be learned. Before 10 years old you learn how to live in the world at peace with everyone else.

Before the age of 10 is when a child's character starts to show. Children pick up on skills such as reading and writing, math, science, and others, but they also pick up on things such as how to treat others and work ethic. One of the most important lessons that was taught to me and I picked up very quickly was to always try your best. No matter how difficult the situation, always work your hardest. This lesson has stuck with me through the years and it will be one that I will remember when I am stuck in a hard time.

The type of "life lessons" that kids under 10 learn are to know what is acceptable in their family. This will differ for every family, but it will be the basis for how the child grows up. They will be taught how to act correctly, how to speak, and good manners. The most important thing I learned before I was 10 was how to apologize sincerely (especially when you're as clumsy as me!)

The main life lesson children under the age of 10 usually learn are: sharing, and learning right from wrong. The most important thing I learned before I was 10 was how to communicate and make friends.

Up until age ten, you basically learn the building blocks of right and wrong from those around you. Some parents may teach that differently, but it is up to them. Until age ten, a child learns social skills, becomes a bit familiar with writing, learns basic math, how to function(talk, walk, etc.) and is at least somewhat able to read. They learn basic manners, but must continue to work on them. There is a tie between the two most important things I learned. I learned to talk out problems and tell people how I was feeling, but always be strong. I also learned that I should be friendly to everyone, although not everyone will be friendly to me, or at least they might not show that they aren't. These are the most important to me, but everyone is different.
