If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

Popular old games for children

Children are often found on electronic devices now and don’t really get much opportunity to play outside. When I was growing up, many of the children in my neighborhood would play together and they learned social skills this way. Many different games were played in the neighborhood that did not require much time or money…

Parenting

When people become parents, they may raise their children differently than others. Some parents may be strict with their children and their time.

Do you remember the days when you were a child and could pick a dandelion that had turned to a puff ball? You could take that dandelion and make a wish by blowing on the puff ball watching the puff disappear in the air. We as children took this activity seriously and thought that if we made a wish on this puff ball it just might come true.

What if we kept that childlike wonder in adulthood? Well of course we all know it isn’t realistic to take a dandelion, blow on it and hope that our wish will materialize. Children do use their imaginations to make wishes and hope that things will come true.

Children pretend play and act out different scenarios. I think imagination by children is one the greatest things that they can have and use. Children are wonderful little human beings full of energy, joy and imagination. Let them create and imagine these are great attributes to take with them into adulthood.

What if we used some of that childlike wonder sometimes in our adult lives to play and explore our world? It would be an incredible experience if sometimes on weekends we used that creative energy and childlike wonder to explore our worlds. Why lose our sense of wonder ? Try to keep that sense of wonder alive in children as well.
