Wish to be a kid again

India
February 23, 2013 5:24am CST
Sometimes when I see in corner of my room and see my kid, that how happily she plays, she laughs and still does not know abot bad and good of life, does not know meaning of pain, sorrows and all whatever we face in our life, I really miss my childhood and then think how my mother could feel the same way when I was playing happily and my mother may had tear in her eyes for any of her life problems? then I think what the life is! we come and go. our grand parents were a kid in their time now even they may are not alive, tomorrow will come, my kid will be young and will understand what is life, what is pain, what is success... Then I just wish how good was if we grow but we could keep that pure heart of our childhood that innocet smile and eyes? why we change like this? what is happening to that clean and pure soul by time?

wow, im in your touch with your topic,, yes, when I was in a kid life too. I dont have any concern about life, I dont have any concern in the world. all I know is to play, to watch tv and to make thinking that life is so easy.. but now, what I thinking on my childhood life is the opposite of what I thinking in adult life.. your right, sometimes I want to be a kid again and forget all about the struggles in life. I forgot to tell that, when I was a kid I already know the meaning of pain. =) pain for physical. :0

I never had the kind of life my children had. My parents did not like children, did beat us up day and night, Always unexpected. I would not like to be a kid again. It was a terrible time. And people (like my granny) who say (or refuse to see) children have no problems are soo wrong.

It would be awesome to be a kid again! No responsibility, no knowledge of how bad the world is an you can basically come and go as you please without having to worry about a job or family responsibilities. Oh to be 5 again!

yes, and that could be more amazing if we grow up, but we could keep that innocent of heart with us always.

It usually doesn't take a child long to figure out how the world it, or before they get hurt and know what pain is. As a parent we are to protect them for as long as we can but also let them grow, and learn to take care of themselves one day.

as a parent we are too responsible for our kids and make them grow up and teach them a lot about what life is.

why have you lost your childlike with your, play with your kid and I am sure you will gain it back. No... it is only in the mind of the adult. You have not lost it... it is still there. you are thinking more of the what ever that may happen to you or your family.. so many whatifs.. so many thoughts.. so many anger so many things kept in your heart toward people or events or situations. Children are not like that. they don't hold grudges and pains. they will cry then later move on. hello friend... you Extremelyfun4fun.. don't lose the child in you

We all have that in our hearts the child in us. I believe it is never lost... we just had to bury it in ourselves because we know that we need to toughen ourselves when it comes to facing life. Many of our experiences have shaped us into becoming who we are now and that made us lose (not permanently) the child in us... all because we need to grow up. We always hear this, that we need to be mature, need to to grow up, need to man up and so on. But then we should always go back to who we were before we are made to "change" into us right now - it is not bad really to change but changes should bee all for the better of us. Children are innocent, they hold no grudges, they forgive so easily and do not remember how you have hurt them as we adults do... when someone has hurt us now... we bear that in mind and we often hold grudges on the people in our hearts, and our hearts are hardened along the process. Let me share how in the bible that it was also stated how important it is to have our hearts be "child-like" Matthew 18:3 And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. * i meant nothing to offend with the insertion of a bible verse in here, i just felt like referring to is as it is quite relevant in my opinion. thank you! =)

Boy, do I EVER know what you mean! I think of my child hood so often and then look at my grand kids and I see how much they are missing with the way things are these days. All the hand held electronics that they have today for "kids" and play toys..and none of them know the extreme fun and excitment of playing a good long game of Monopoly WITH THE BOARD!!! Or hopscotch or Barbies, or army men or just playing in the dirt or climbing a tree and they don't know they even HAVE an imagination much less know how to use it! My grand daughter is 12 and we talk all the time and I tell her how things were when I was her age. We write letters even tho we see each other and every letter I put "Memory Time" at the end of the letter and tell her a memory I have of when I was her age. She loves it! She is now adding her own memory to her letters to me...of what she remembers from when she was little..things we did together as I did day care for her back then. I keep telling her how exciting it is to get a letter in the mail box instead of email..at first she thought I was nuts, but then in getting them...she finally did say it is exciting to have that surprise in the mail! Pure heart...I think that has long been lost with the techo age and internet. These kids today have a gadget in their hands 24/7. Our 24/7 was a game of monopoly that we played for a few hours, then pushed under the bed to be pulled out again tomorrow! We had them going for days! It is funny, I watch the show American Pickers..and I am always saying "Oh, I remember those!" or "I had one of those" and they get some huge sales price for it and I say "wish I'd kept mine!". I go to second hand stores now... and look around and had lot of the things there..that they now call "shabby Chic" or "country"...that was the normal stuff back in my day! And now.. people are clamoring for it! I'd be a billionaire now if I'd kept all my stuff and sold it now! Oh well! I keep telling my kids and grand kids..write things down. Don't think you'll "never forget" something. So much you will forget simply cause life goes on. And things you dont, they will at least me demured with forget...not as exciting as you remember or something like that. Time is a hard companion to have to carry around! I have given my kids and G-kids notebooks to write things in. The 2 little girls have from time to time, but still haven't gotten the idea! I guess to them...time isn't that much...yet! 12 years old..that is when they start realizing what "time" and "memories" mean.

I really enjoy of reading and thinking about your comment, it is so nice to teach to our children to write their memories , in my life, whenever i came to write about things that happens to me, i thought, oh leave it that is too clear in my mind, i would never forget it, or i would never forget what he or she said to me.. it is like an alive movie in front of my mind eyes.... and i did not write and i forget so many things... in childhood our memory is too sharp as we think we would never forget things.. it is good , made me think that i teach to my kid when she grow up to write dawn each memories... when i was a kid i just wish if i could grow fast now i am young and i wish if i could be old enough to see my kid has become a young lady and stand on her own... how strange life is! thank you so much for sharing.. and God bless you

Hi friend, most of us have this desire, but it is impossible, we can cherish about our childhood days while seeing our kids childhood activities and enjoy a lot with their playing activities. Most of us are very innocent in our childhood days, after getting the maturity we learn a lot of new things and do some unwanted activities which made us to forget about the innocence and purity of our childhood days

I guess the only thing that is atleast a good explanaiton it´s that our brains develop and childs start to understand the true nature of where they live? Some kids faster than others and it depends what kind of enviroment they have at home and around. :) I don´t belive a child as a clean pure soul XD they are tricky , they just don´t see how bad it´s... or maybe adults see everything in a dramatic way :P
