A child's' life is when the parent has the able to teach their son or daughter how to tie their shoes, ride a bike, read, and how to respect others. Children are the love we care for and the people we do not want to let go. Vincent Liu explains childhood as one of the important periods of our life:
Childhood is a period of time that I think is the most important moment of a person's entire life. The life of being a kid is such a wonderful and beautiful thing to have. I never really thought about it when I was young, but as I continue to grow older I started to realize about how just amazing being a kid really was. When we were little, we didn't really need to worry about anything in our life, and the only thing that we really care about is thinking about how we would spend our day playing around. It was time when we could just do almost anything we want and is most likely that we are able to get away with it simply because adults realizes that we don't know any better. It was time where our curiosity and imagination was at it's best and ran wild like a horse; a child's imagination knows no bound, and our curiosity multiplies every time we learn something new.
While reading Vincent's post, I agreed to almost every part of it. This is because a childhood has its good and bad outcomes. For example, if a person did not have a good childhood experience, like, they were sexually harassed, abused, or simply, did not like their parents, that persons childhood is not a period of which they like to reminisce about. On the other hand, a person who had a lovely and healthy childhood would always talk about their experiences when older and will realize that they childhood was so much easier then today.
When Vincent says, "a child's imagination knows no bound, and our curiosity multiplies every time we learn something new", I do agree with this point, but when a child gets older, their imagination is more developed because they have been exposed to more things. As a child, they are not exposed to a lot of things, and if they are, they would not know what it is, what it does, what it is form etc. On the other hand, when they get older, the ability to be able to define something would be clear and enlightening.
As a result, a childhood experience can go both ways, and sometimes, one-way maybe better than another.
Great analyses!! Do you think it is better for a child if a parent hit their child or speak nicely to their child when the child is being disobedient/disrespectful??
