My children call me out sometimes for making assumptions about the character of their friends, I listen to their side, and what they say changes my perspective.

Some people are so certain about their assumptions they are unwilling to listen. So good for you for listening and good for your kids being sufficiently convincing that you see their point of view.

An assumption, whether correct or not, is the outward manifestation of an underlying belief. It's good to have our beliefs challenged and our assumptions questioned.
