Kids are really sweet and can make us laugh with there funny behavior. I like to play with kids sometimes and I enjoy a lot. Well our neighbors little daughter is always at our place and she is really very cute. I like to do timepass with little kids when I am tired. Mostly some people are of the type that they will just give a little smile when they saw some small kid but I would wait to have few words with them. What do you think, do you like to spend time with small kids?

Yes.. I love kids and I enjoy playing with them. If i am with them, i feel as if i am not getting any older. I can reminisce my childhood years when i am with my little cousins/nephew/niece. But i hate it when they begin to show off tantrums or become so naughty. I have patience but if i can manage to calm them, i have no choice but to turn them over to their parents.

Yes it happens sometimes that we might hate some of their activities and might get little angry on them but it happens in every relation. Thanks for your useful response.

spending time with kids play - spending time with kids
hi rakesh Yes Of course i like to spend my time to small kids,There is more and more talk among parent about spending quality time with their kids, However some parents believe an hour of quality this is sufficient and that nothing more needs to be done. If the hours was productive one such as going out to eat, watching tv together or going to the movies,parent seem to be satisfied with that.,however I really enjoy Spend time with the kids I feel like a small kids also?.. however, quality time involves more than,just an hour a day because an hour is a relatively short period of time and doesn't allow for in depth bonding, However I'm so happy to play with small children I feel like I'm a small kid also?... have fun for with a little small and cute kids?.. i love to bonding with small kids?.. and spend my time with them? happy mylottings

i like spending time with ones under 10yrs. after that they seem to get hard for me to communicate with, plus they get pretty set in their ways just like us old folks it helps that usually the little kids prefer spending time with me even when there are other adults and kids around not sure why. they just seem to want to hang with me. maybe its the mother instinct they feel or maybe im just a big kid?

Being a kindergarten teacher, I definitely love spending time with young children. The only exception was my poor younger son...who I couldn't spend time with (till a few months back) because I was busy with my other kids at school. I've now realized it and quit my job till my son is a little older...and enjoy my time with him. I've also seen how his tantrums have come down now that things are calmer at home and I'm not rushing him every single moment of the day. I really enjoy him and his little pranks now.

Hi rakesh284! I love being among kids. I super enjoy being with kids. They are fun to be with. I feel so young whenever I am with them. I have nieces and nephews that I enjoy being with. What I like are their stories because when they share their stories, they share it animatedly.

Most of the time yes. But you see really bad kids sometimes. Im not talking about having responisability. I prefer parents do that.

This youg lady that lived around the corner from me actually drove a huge wedge between herself and i behind that. Since the day her baby waas born she always tried to get me to come over and watch the baby while she went and did what ever. OK i never did that. Im not the caregiver just the visitor.

I do like spending time with children too. They are so innocent and wonderful to be around. They can also be really funny like you said. You don't need to have any pretence with a child too. Yes spending time with children is fabulous!

I agree with you. Kids can be a joy to spend time with. My own children are teenagers now, but I have a nephew who's eight and a niece who is three. Spending time with older children is good, but the younger ones seem to give a little more back to you.

You are lucky that you have little kids around you to play with. In our place it is said that little kids are incarnations of God himself! I also love Kids. But there are hardly any kids around. Also I love to watch Kids as I am not so good at talking to them. But I would surely love to spend time with kids once in a while and become their age and remember my own childhood as well!!

Sometimes, it depends on the kid. If the kid is bad, i don't think I can spend with him.

I have mixed feelings about spending time with little children. I love their love because I believe it's sincere where with older children and adults you can't always tell. I like being at a distance and watching children play. But when I've been the one who has had to "entertain" the children time after time and have missed out on almost all the adult interaction, being with little children gets real old real fast.

Oh yes. I love spending time with my grand daughter, Savannah. She will be 4 years old next month. She loves everything. She doesn't want me to kill a fly or a bee because they are her friends. She is so much fun and I so blessed to have her live with me and my mother (her great-grandmother). Her mother is a single mom and works so we keep her when her Mom works and we have so much fun.

I have 3 kids and now I have 2 grand kids. I love being around them and watching them. I love keeping my grand kids over night. I love spending lots of time with both,the grand kids and my kids. My grand kids are cute and funny to watch as they are growing. I like spending time with small kids all the time. They are sweet and cute to watch.

Sometimes with my own and other peoples' kids I enjoy it. Mostly I find that I do things that my kids like more than my own self. That's when I get tired and want to do my own thing.

Hi rakesh: Its great to be with kids cos they make you feel young. They are so fresh and innocent (at least most of them) and the things they say and the questions they ask can really send you into fits of laughter. But they can be a pain too at time when you have some work to do or need to rest. But generally kids get the thumbs up from me.
