Sounds like they already have a great foundation for wisdom. I agree that it does take some time to build it up, though. I had a conversation recently about the "presumed sophistication" of adolescents, i.e., we may assume that because they have a lot of knowledge and information, they have the judgment to go with it. But we must remember that as adults it is our responsibility to guard them and guide them until they are truly mature---truly wise. And there should be no hurry.
