Children should enjoy the few years they have just being a kid.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have known plenty of people who, in their later years, had the energy of children and the kind of curiosity and fascination with things like little children. I think we can keep that, and I think it's important to keep that part of staying young. But I also think it's great fun growing old.
Children should always feel like the adults are living in this world to nurture them, to take care of them, to protect them from any bad thing that might come.
When you're a kid, you should be a kid.
We know when children have a place to play they live healthier, happier lives.
There's this assumption that all children have the luxury of a childhood where their innocence is always respected and their main occupation is pleasant play - at the age of 18 or 21, they are then thrust into the real world and shown its uglier side, but not before.
Children are very addicting. Once they start growing up, you miss when they were little.
Children need continuity as they grow and learn.
Every child should have time for arts, music, sports, drama, robotics, school newspapers and the like, not to mention recess and play.
I do think kids should be kids. You have the rest of your life to be an adult.
Few things are more satisfying than seeing your children have teenagers of their own.
