Is childhood the most happy phase of life? Are kids the most happiest?

It may seem to be the most happiest time in our lives in comparison to the present. When we are kids we found happiness in the smallest of things and mostly in the love of family. It was unconditional. Kids too go through thier periods of unhappiness with respect to everry want of thiers not being satisfied. How many times i must have cried when i was a kid. As we progress in life the responsibilities increase. Life becomes materialistic, everything does not come to us because we cry. Achieving things and struggles in life is what are focus seems to be on. Moments of happiness when there mean a lot but tend to last only for short intervals of time. Yes Mimpi, this is grown up's point of view. When i was a child i thought i would be the happiest person when i grew up to become a pilot.

hi mimpi,GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!whenevr i think of my chilhood,i wish my childhood would come back to me!!!(with no responsibilities and care f,atleast we wont have to give exams then!!ree attitude) but my kids often say when will i grow up and brcome like mamma"i guess there are positive and negative sides in every situation!!!

There is not doubt about it. children have pure heart they dont love or make connection for some materialistic benefits. You can never ever find a pure love like a child's heart.

I had a very happy childhood, but if I was given the chance to live it again, I wouldn't. I have enjoyed adulthood so much more.

i personally feel that my childhood is the happiest phase in my life. If a person has a balanced happy childhood, he/she grows up into a positive human being. I feel that adults have a duty to make their children's early life happy and memorable.I think most adults feel the same way about their childhood days..

As for me, childhood really is the happiest phase of my life. I really wanna be carefree. I'm not yet aware of the evil then. I just have my mom who'll take care of me. And God whom I'll talk to every time.

I can say so by my personal experience. It sure was the care free phase of our life. What all we needed was great friends to play with, tops, marbles and stickers to collect and a regular supply of chocolates and snacks. There were no crosses to carry and no need to bleed internally trying to smile desperately to the world. We laughed when we were happy and cried when we were sad. We were able to show the right moods at least. No more masks for us then. Childhood is the happiest phase of life in all aspects.

What is happiness mimpi?It is a state of mind.Now why are grownups sometimes unhappy?-becaus they have expectations or because they have some needs ,and these are not being met.They have to fend for themselves and also for their families.Itis a complicated, competitive world, where interactions bring their set of complications.As a corollary, a child is definitely happier because he/she would have less to complain about-especially, if the particular children are not poor and they are well loved. Then apart from calling it a grown up point of view you straightaway ask a child ;The reply for the question'are you happy?' would BE 'Yes'. This is because their world is smaller, their desires are simpler,and their standards of happiness would be with basics and simple needs.THey need not work, they need not worry to pay their bills;nowadays, many children themselves would not say they are happy because they have to work very hard in their school and also out of this and fulfill many expectations of their parents.I am sure our lives were even simpler and happier than the present day children's. Children, when allowed to be happy, would definitely call their childhood happy even at that point of time. THey would not even knowthe real significance but simply ask the question they would give uninhibited smiles and say they are happy.That is why we say that'ignorance is bliss!'.

I think what it all comes down to is what you've already shared. As a child, we are generally free from the worries and woes that we face in our adult lives. Our level of personal responsibility is at a minimum, we are fed and clothed and relatively unjaded by the nuances of life that our Parents have to face daily. Then of course the realities of the world kick in the older we get and we become yet another cog in the machine of humanity! It's a shame that we lose a lot of the wonderment and innocence, but we have to in order to secure our place really. The saddest thing here is that many children in this world don't even get to experience the blissful ignorance aspect of childhood and are placed in situations that cause them to grow up way before their time.

Why do I need to know what the world is all about Before I know what happiness is all about? I am pasted 330 and I Still don't know what the world is all about but i Do know what happiness is.So why can't children know real happiness? The happiest time of your life depends on the person.Some of us had a wonderful childhood. We had both parents in our life and we got to do everything a child would want to do. But therer are others who Never had a happy moment in their childhood.There was abuse and other korrors.so the words " happy childhood" are foreign to them.So it all depends. all I can wish for is that Everyone has a happy period in their lives, if not in childhood, then later in life.

A man does not feel satisfied at any stage, we always feel that the grass is greener on the other side. When we were a child, we would think that our younger years would be better, when we were unmarried, we thought that life would be bed of roses after marriage and so on an so forth. But happiness is just a state of mind, which can only be felt and realised in our heart and mind. When we get married and are burdened with responsibilities, we start having a feeling that we were happy as a child, because at that time we were free to do whatever we felt like and there was no burden on our shoulders. I believe that our phase, when we were child was the best one, when we were pampered and loved by our elders and were showered with all sorts of goodies. How sad! We cannot go back to that stage now. When we see our kids growing up, we feel in our heart of heart, how lucky they are as they are blissfully enjoying their childhood, without any worries. An excellent Post!

I don't know whether childhood is the happiest stage of life, but I think it is the most secure time. I can remember getting stressed out because I wanted to stay up later at night, wanted more money that I had and wanted to be answerable to nobody. And wanted to get out of going to school every day.. Yet come to think of it, I would love to go back there with the innocence and fascination I had with the world at the time. - Derek

I guess it can be called as the happiest phase of our life. One of the reason is that as a child we have less responsibilities. So we worry less. As children we are also a bit carefree. Besides we get a lot of play time.

In the childhood, life remains very simple. There's no complications in the heart. When life becomes so simple, every small thing can give you the happiness.

Hello mimpi1911, Yes, I think childhood is the happiest phase of life and you will only realize it when you have grown up and experienced the ups and downs in life. Of course those kids don't know what happy means to them as they have yet to experience what the real life can offer them.

Children are often naieve and innocent, meaning they don't have any idea what the world is really about. Because of that, they don't stress like adults do, and seem to live more happily. Adults can learn much from children. By ignoring the bad things they see and hear on the news etc, they can create an illusion of a harmonious world, and live more happily. That's not to say they should forget that the rest of the world and all its problems exist though, because it still does. Instead, by not stressing about the things they can't control or the unhappy things, they can be happier.

hi! I think being a kid is really the happy phase in our life. as you mentioned, stress free and care free. They just do what they want as long as it is with regards to the rules set by their parents. They have no problems to think, and they have no Fear to try out different things. take care

Being a kid is fun. As a kid u cry for help and it comes with all pleasure. Get to be on the recieving end all the time, everybody loves you...... yeah, childhood is the most happy phase.

I agree with you mimpi1911, Childhood is a stage where you get everything that you want, you dont have any worries or tensions as to what you want to be in future...there are people to take care of you....and the best thing is you have a pure soul....which offcourse turns devilish as we grow old....but at the same time as a kid i always used to think when will i grow up....and when will i get an opportunity to do things which adults are permitted to do.....but now i know that being a kid was the best phase of my life...and probably it will never come back.....

hi8 there, childhood is a carefree time, You're Right; it's better when we are mature enough to accept the bad things in life as 'foundations for the good things in life,' but it takes more effort when you have to 'think about it' than when you're young and you don't care.There were things in childhood that I thoroughly enjoyed, like climbing trees.I think childhood is the happiest phase of life and you will only realize it when you have grown up and experienced the ups and downs in life and u r too young to fall in love and get hurt.
