never forget what it's like to be a kid (read all 4 entries…)
Kids are awesome 4 years ago

Everyday I just need to marvel at how awesome young kids are. Other than the typical kid greed, they’re remarkably uncorrupted, most enjoy grasping for any shred of new information that they can get their sticky hands on, they haven’t learned discrimination yet; for them, life is a remarkable new adventure.

While we can’t stay kids forever, there are so many lessons we can learn from children. I think there’s a better way to put it than that trite “Everything I Learned … in Kindergarten” crap. There’s so much to learn after childhood, but the key is to attempt to hold on to how we looked at the world before we all became imbued with jealousy, prejudice, and an understanding that the world wasn’t a wonderful place full of juice, cookies, and plastic toys.

Don’t forget.

thank you for sharing

it’s wisely and well written..

I agree

When I was a kid I promised myself that as an adult I would never forget what it is like to be a kid.

I feel that I have held on to this very well and it is something I am proud of. It helps me as a parent to enjoy and understand my own children better.

And, along with not forgetting what it is like to be a child an adult should also remember to take pleasure in the “finer” things in life, for example: squishing mud between the toes, cracking the ice on puddles, jumping in or kicking up a pile of leaves, eating dessert first, trying to balance on the edge of a curb, don’t step on the cracks in floors or sidewalk, etc. All those stupid pleasures that kids enjoy but that adults forget about. Enjoy those without guilt and find that you can be a happier person.
