What would you do to make a child smile?

Children are the future and I feel most are most neglected. Or else why is there an ijcreasing number ofcrimes related to children! It's asad state altogether. Personally I try to spend as much as time possible as I hardly cannot afford to spend on them. Great topic!

Your have raised a very valid point, i.e. for a better future of a society in general it is very important that children be brought up and be looked after in manner befitting their childhood. I agree with you that we can devote some of our time to 'teach' them and to impart them sort sort of training. Those children who are underprivileged, should be encouraged to study and we should creat some sort of opportunities and platform for them to help. I would love to spare some of my time to teach them and guide them so that they could become responsible citizens and could add their valuable contribution to the society.

Since I deal with little kids on a daily basis, I know that nothing is better than an adult's constructive time with them. Lunches for some street children and gifts for a few are not going to solve the issue. We should be able to do something where every little child who is born will be provided nourishment and basic things needed. As a society, spending time with them can be done by people like us...and we can form groups for it....but unless the basic necessities are taken care of, one or two days of bringing a smile to their faces is not going to be of any help. If anyone's interested, I'd like to join a group to start something about this...I know I can't do it alone.

Dear Mimpi, How are you dear. I think any person who is made of blood and flesh and has a soft little heart beating inside will try to help these children and make them smile. It is so sad that these children are brought to this world and then left out all alone to suffer. No matter what may be the reason but the fact remains that injustice has been done with these children. I have come across such children and sometimes I did buy them some food, but I could see in their empty eyes, a question.......question that was asking God.....why.....why were they so unlucky not to have mother's love and father shade....What can I say dear.......I would be happy to help them , but the question is how many of them can we really help. World is full of such unlucky buds that blossom but are unnoticeable like flowers in woods.

Hi mimpi1911! I completely agree with you that "Children are the fuel of life, without them there is no future". And just like our national hero here in the Philippines famously said "Children are the hope of the country." And I do believe that it should start within the family unit. Building their character, molding their values and making them live their life completely with encouragement, love, care, understanding and keeping their spirit alive. I guess, these are just one of the qualities needed for a young mind to grow into a complete and whole person. So, if you're asking me what will I do to make a child smile? I will give him or her my time, I will listen to whatever he or she wants to say or not want to say, I will play with him or her and laugh and cry with him or her. I will go the extra mile just to make him feel loved and special. And I hope with these I coulkd make a difference in his life and contribute in his well being. Just my thoughts dear! Take care and have a nice day! :)

I make people smile like a child because i know the value of smile and i can't imagine without smile and i always smile and you can find only bright smile on my face and i always make smile opposite person and i have pure honest and good to understand and solve the problems so my words come through my heart so i get pure smile from my heart.

oh that's a really good topic to discuss. i really love to help needy people and childrens are my weakness...most of the time when i saw such childs i use to help them by giving them food stuffs or even candies but i don't like giving them money as now a days most of such childrens take wrong use of it. :)

Like the air and the sunshine, I believe the children of the world belong to all of us and must be nurtured and protected. That is the ideal. Of course, in reality it does not always happen. It must ever be the ideal however.

i agree with ever bit of what you have said. children are angels, gods angles. Qualit time is so important with a child. no point in sitting around with the child if there is nothing you can do to bring a smile on the childs face. They are innocent agels. Yes it is very important to keep the mother of the child happy when she is carrying. Happy babies are always from happy mothers.

All kids are just the same. If my child wants something at a particular age, so will be another child who doesnot have parents. To those kids, I will try to get them what they want for. I have been doing it now. We have an adopted son apart from our two kids.

I will give him or her a mirror,let him or her see themself.Usually they fell very happy and smile.It is so supernatural!

it is a very hard question for me because i just became a mother! my boy is only 70 days old, and it seems that he doesn't like smiling very much!when he is sleeping he smiles, when his eyes closed he smiles, but when he open his eyes he seldom smiles. i'm so worried about this! i want to do anything that can make him happy and smile.who can tell me what to do?

You can make a child smile in your own little ways. Someone once said that "If I were to say something to the children of the world, I would not say anything. I would listen." If I were to do something to make a child smile, I will first let that child know that I care. I would listen to that child and take note of what he or she needs. If he or she lacks education, I will go out of my comfort zones and devote my time in teaching him/her things that I know. I will also play with that child and pray for him or her.

i will try my best way to make hem happy. may be i will buy them some books, drss and food. its true india is talking over tata taking over jaguar, but nobody talking over how to make children's life enjotyable.

children like them is very very easy to please and thats the wonderful things about them! When I was in college our organization often visits orphanage, we just bring them food, used clothing, bring candies and give it to them in a form of contest where everyone will present a dance number or anything that they can present..Its very wonderful to see them smiling and laughing like they have no depression inside..Its totally rewarding and when its time for byebye moment, its really hard... Its an eye opener for everyone to feel so bless lucky that grow up to have a parents who take care of us!
