i know that every stage of one's life has its own characteristics.And discussing that which is more important should be concerned with the aspects that you weight most. For me, i consider one's character is the most important factor in managing his/her life, and childhood is almost the decisive phrase in forming one's character.so i weight the childhood most.and what are your opinions?

That's correct, the most important years in one's life because all the development in human aspect starts there like physical, mental, and spiritual aspect. In that stage of life all that the person experience and learn can affect the maturity of the person will pass on all the rest of his/her life. And in my opinion all aspect must be treated equally important because all aspect of human being will help and affect the person's future. Non of the aspect of a person must be sacrifice in order to give way to the other aspect.

Hi, I believe that childhood play an important role in someone's life. Why do I say so? It is because, if you were to grow in a happy family, you will definitely have a good and happy life during your childhood. You will have a parents who loves you so much and fulfill your needs. For the child that grew up in a broken family, his/her life might be affected too as their parents might quarrel often and then lastly go for divorce. The most pityful is the kid,as they are still young to understand the adult's issue. For me, I am happy with my childhood life and I am glad that I was brought up in a good family. Thank you to my parents for bringing me up and now is my turn to bring up my son.

I agree that childhood is the most important years in one's life. Yesterday will not be the same as today's life neither the future. A child may not know the bad and good things in life unless a parent or guardian is there to coach him. The fundamental aspect of one's character is the values and morals gained through time.

Yes, childhood is definitely the most important and cherished period of a person’s life. It is said that a child is like a mould of clay, to be shaped by the parents any which way they want. Outside influences too play a very important role in shaping our character. Also, childhood is the most carefree days of our life… studies are the only botheration and with nothing else to worry us, we can enjoy our days as much as we want to.

Well, for me you are right. my childhood moments is the most memorable one because that time we experienced to be pampered with our parents because we are not totally know what our wants in life. and it's most promising to me because that stage we can feel the love of our parents.

Childhood really has a very big impact on one's life. Early stages in life are where we are molded and trained to speak and act accordingly in every situations, and even our social environment is found to be very influential at that stage. It is important that there is enhancement and learning taking place. That is why playing is recommended because children develop critical thinking and their imagination and creativity are widen. Good day :)

I agree with your statement about the childhood. Maybe I would like to share my experience about my childhood. My father is a policeman with four daughters and one son. He is so discipline, maybe coz he's a police and he get hard attitude from his academy. He makes a rule at home, and we are as his daughter must do what he says. But he never hurt his children even we are very naughty, and it makes us to be a responsibility person. I'm really proud to have a father like my father, he has given me an important lesson to face this life. Now, I am a mother of two children. I also want to educate my children like my father does. One thing that my father always says to me don't beat your children and don't say bad thing to your children. Thanks father, I love you so....

For the when start at 17 years old is the most important years of one's life. It's the time when we decide to do what we want and what we need to accomplish for better life. Childhood are the time when the shaping and preparation towards the teenage time. Everything exposed to us during teenage anyway.

of course it is very important, it is the very 1st stage of our life where we start to discover ourselves growing with the environment we are in now. Childhood is full of exploration on the wonderful creations of God. It was the carefree days, the enjoyable times of life.

I agree that childhood is the most important years in one's life. Yesterday will not be the same as today's life neither the future. This is the stage wherein one's values and morals are being curved. A child may not know the bad and good things in life if there's no coach. These coaches are the parents or guardians that may help him develop as a better person later on.

yes. i think childhood is the most important years in one's life. it is a phase where you will learn a lot of things from the people who surrounds you, so if you have a good environment, then you will have the right things in your mind as you grow old and if not, things will go the other way...

Childhood is a major phase of one's life as it is the turning point towards how we may live out our adult life. If we have a wholesome lifestyle as a child, the chances is that we will also live a wholesome adult lifestyle. I wish I could relive my childhood.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think the childrenhood is so important all over my life. In my own opinion, I think no one can be short of childhood, especially a wonderful childhood with your family together.With the childhood, we made our life be full of interests. With the childhood, we can enjoy so pure life as we have lived.

Yes, childhood is the most important years in one's life because whatever you will learn and can apply will lead you to achieve success and failure! If you make good habits in your childhood days, you will surely make a successful life! If you learn bad habits it would surely sink you! The manners we learn in childhood more or less remain unchanged in the rest of our life, so it is very important to learn good manners! We need to learn how to respect each others and also how to earn respects from the others too. We need to carry a happy and healthy life! We should not learn to destroy anyones happiness and property! We shouldn't do illegal things! We shouldn't break laws and pay heavy fines! We need to learn how to help each others and make everyone smile! If we learn this and many more ( almost need to write a novel to state everything) in childhood we surely get high reputations and and make a happy life! Else we have to suffer or learn from mistakes!

Childhood stage is where we are being mold to be what we want to be in the coming years.It is important,but for me everyday,every month and every years in our life is also important,you will ask me why?because we cannot turn back time.We can't have rewinds,so live life wisely and don't waste every single of it.

Yes, I think so. A child with a good upbringing will mostly be a good person when he/she grows up. Character is also important. People with a tendency to do very bad things when they grow up, normally the tendency will appear even when they are only children.

I think it's important because it's serves as the foundation of a person. The mind of a child is like a sponge it absorbs everything whether it's wrong or right.:D
