When I was a kid, I really want to grow up,because I would have more freedom and
got rid of control from parents. However, when I became an adult,I found there are too many rules in adults' world,besides,I have to undertake my responsebality for my family,more importantly, for myself. When I was swamped by lots of troubles,I always thought how happy when I was a child! Naive childhood,is indeed full of simple happiness.
What about your opinion if there is a method to keep up our childhood?

no. i do not want to be a child forever. that is a fantasy. and you can never help other people if you stay as a child. children are not responsible for anything, that's why we adults teach them responsibility. we enjoy children. we appreciate their youth. but we abhor that a brother sister or friend stay a child forever.

Yes. After experiencing a lot of troubles, problems in life and learning bad things, I just wish that I am just a child forever. Forever innocent, forever playful, nothing to worry about and will not be hurt by an epidemic called love

I wish I could agree with you on this but my childhood was really tough and so I'm glad I'm all grown up now. All those hard and awful years are behind me and after getting the help I so desperately needed, I know what happened to me wasn't my fault. Not only that, my parents did the best that they could but they sure were not the best parents in the world. They're human, they've made a lot of mistakes but I still love them nonetheless and same goes for them. No, I never wish to return to my childhood.

Dear firend, I am very sorry about your hard childhood and also admire your bravery once as a young child when you faced those awful difficulties.I think no matter how difficult the childhood was, we are still grateful to the period of childhood that taught us too many things and create ourselves now.

I don't want to remain a child, my freedom and my independence is too important to me. I love being an adult, because that means that I am able to make my own decisions. My parents were quite strict, when I was a child, and there were many things that I was not allowed to do. In many ways it was easier to be a child, and there were many things that I didn't have to worry about at that time for instanse how to pay the rent or the bills, but I still don't want to go back to being a child.

Hi Aiwener. I think many of us would love to be a child once more, when our parents cared for and protected us. It is hard carrying all of the responsibilities of an adult at times. I allow myself to "play" sometimes and still enjoy some childhood fun! This is so easy to do with my lovely grandchildren. I can go to the park and swing with them, watch cartoons, play ball, or even color lol. :) Take care.

Hi Karen.I belive your provide a good method to keep our children's heart.We cannot control the time,but we can control our heart certainly. Play with children,and sometimes,even think like them. This world are same for adults and children, the difference may stem from our hearts.Have a pleasant day!

hello aiwener,
We have the same thing in common. For when I was a child I want to grow up fast so I can work and have my own money. This way I can buy all the things that I want to have. But then, now that I'm already working and able to work in a multi-international company wherein the benefits and salary are great, I hope that I'm still a kid. For being a kid has no problem at all - no responsibility/ies and no worries. I thought that when I'm already working and have my own salary/money I can buy everything that I want but it's the opposite. It's because I'm helping my brother and sister who are studying.
One thing for sure, I make certain that my kids will enjoy their childhood life for when they're already working, they can't have much more fun than when they're still kids.

Hey,
Well I don't really think I would want to stay as a child, mainly because they don't get as much freedom in this world, because they are so young, they are mostly manipulated by their parents. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

When I was litte, I always wanted to be an adult as soon as I could. And these days, I am still happy with being an adult but I do miss my chil time or teenager time sometimes. Looking at the pictures remind my memories:-)

No, I prefer the freedom of being an adult. You can still act childish if you want.

Everyone has their own childhood. But childhood is not the same after. But you said I support. Let us, as children will always have a lovely purity of heart are not old. Often with children. Listen to their heart. To discuss their ideas. Psychological adjustment efforts. From adult worries haunt us. Their own thought into the sea, like a broad.
