Why babies are cute and lose their charm as they become elder?

Babies being cute is an evolutionary trick. It ensures that it will be properly cared for by it's parents. Since babies are such hard work and human growth takes so long, infants and children needed all the help they could get to keep parents interested in caring for them as long as necessary. I personally don't think babies are cute, though.

I don't think children loose their charm while growing up. But your girl is becoming a young lady. She started to worry about the way she looks! If she knew how much time she waste for this, she would concentrate on more important things in life. But, unfortunately, we realize this truth only when we're over 40...

Babies do not worry about how they look, they just are themselves. When we grow up we start worrying and that is not attractive at all. Also, physically different parts change proportions at different times and that has a lot to do with how we look as well.

Oh,kids are always observant. My daughter also says same thing and ask why she looks cute when she is a baby. But when I ask her if she wants to remain a baby,she responded quickly NO Baby looks cute maybe because they're chubby and small. Again, they say, small is always cute and bigger ones were "acute"

Hello besthope! While all of our kids still have a certain charm about them, no matter how old they get, they mature and go through changes. It is almost like anything in life as it gets older it slowly ages. Would be nice to always have our kids as the babies they were but then no adults would be left on earth. lol Children are so cute today with the questions they ask. They are smarter and smarter each day.

I personally don't think they lose their charm. We just find babies so adorable because they are one tiny little thing. Tiny little hands, fingers, feet and physical attributes. Most people or majority of them found tiny little things, animals, etc. cute and adorable to look at.

I think it's quite the opposite. most babies look the same as most other babies. like little fat bald old men. it's only when they get old enough for their personality to show through that they actually get cute.

It is because of the fact that little babes are angelic and evince interest in all of us as children of the Gods. Later on their minds are poisoned by grownups and most of those babes lose their exuberant charm in due course. LOL

My dearest Lady besthope...out of the mouth of babes..?? When I first read, the opening line of your discussion, I thought it was going to be about a 10 or 12 year old, such mature thoughts for such a little angel. What makes me wonder, is why a sweet little puffin' would care so much about appearance..is it T.V? I'm sure she is just as cute now, as then...just in a bit more age appropriate! Hugs to your!

I think you might be right, Besthope. They are so sweet and innocent and helpless as babies. It's not that they actually lose their charm as they get older but it does change and yes...some do lose charm. It's their personalities and they aren't as cute and cuddly anymore. Teen years are tough because they do stress over everything...looks, schoolwork, friends, boyfriends. Everything is so dramatic and they tend to be a bit moody also which doesn't help gain them charm points. All this passes and usually they turn into beautiful young adults.

I think that the word cute can be applied to any baby, but not all for them are beautiful. On the other hand, most children are handsome or beautiful in one way or another. They have lovely smiles, they open their eyes in wonder, they are active and interested. Maybe you should talk to her about why she thinks she´s not beautiful. In one of my stories about mothers and daughters, I wrote about this and the daughter´s problem was how she dressed as compàred to her mom

we all seems to be charming and cutie pie when we are little, but when we are adilts we are not so this thing doesn't even bother me, i think am cute when in child and even now, and i also dont think physical charming is of any use rather than impressing others with look, i dont care much of it, its the inner beauty that is the real matter, surely people change a lot when growing it takes up a shape which is unique when in kids all looks alike and innocent, and yea stress free from wold tensions, its natures law that nothing remains constant it is all about change and we cant stay it like that always adjust with what you get and be happy thats all.

As we grow older, we experience stress. I believe stress is a factor why are physical appearance change. If I can just travel in time, I wish that I can become a child again. Children are not stressed. They are so cute and almost all the time they are happy. They don't think of anything. They always enjoy.

Yep.I agree with your daughter. but there is no need worrying about it.It is normal.I always think that I was not cute as before.my skin is less smoothy and my body is less slim, I was wondering why some people become more and more handsome, except I.

Nature designed babies that way & wired our brains to see them as cute. That's why puppies & kittens are cute as well. It helps to ensure that the rest of society ( or the pack in nature ) are attracted to them & want to take care of them otherwise we wouldn't put up with the B.S. of raising them.

LOL. Same here. I think I was a cute baby also. I do not look like my baby picture anymore though.

that is true for me, and also their cute reduce because the earth gravitation, heat of sun shine and what they eat too. most baby also have a lot sleep than adult. maybe that is why they look so rejuvenate..

I think it is because God really designed babies to be cute, and I think it is to easily enable us to love and be fond of them. As they grow up, their faces mold to what they are going to look like when they grow up. This is why they lose their cuteness and start changing and maturing.

I think that they are cute because innocent and we become older we loose the innocence and those who doesn't get that kind of malice and in some way they keep innocence are adorable for the others, for example my husband love the way I am because I still keep part of innocence. Why we loose the innocence? As we are growing we have more and more responsibilities that make us be stress out and get frustrated for things that are not as important then we loose the spontaneity and then we smile less and we are not as charming anymore.

hem i think they are so cute because we their skin is so natural and hem do soft
