There are a lot of lessons to learn from Children, even-though they look up to adults for protection, care and love. To fully understand a child always remember that we all were once children and as such we still have those tendencies within us. Here are key characteristics to dig out from yourself which maybe childish but are valuable.
Children needs care. As a child, people took care of you, made sure you feed well, dropped and picked you from school and also gave attention to your needs. Most of us as adults have dropped the responsibility of taking good care of self. There wont be you, if you you do not take care of you. Note, this is not being selfish, in as much as you have please and please never in your life forget others because it has a sustaining blessing. What flows from you, comes back to you, with more energy and strength.
Children forgive easily. Those of us that have children will agree that most often children put aside the punishment and still relate with us. They smile, talk, laugh as if the punishment never existed. Punishment are corrective measures and shouldn't be harmful to a child in any way. As you correct a child, also draw such a child back with love. Contrary to this exemplary behavior of children, adults keep malice and find it difficult to forgive. As such we need to bring out the child in us in every instance.
Children like to learn. Each time you show love to children, they react by giving attention, listening, smiling and communication. There are cases children ask the most disguised and shocking questions, which means they are observing, watching, and listening. Never assume your child is ignorance, but make sure you teach him or her the right things. There are endless gate of knowledge, but as adult we should be willing to learn as a child, and put aside whatever is detrimental and harmful to our well-being.
The mistake we make as adults is that most often we feel we have come to a point in life that we know everything, and we ignorantly block the blessings learning, loving, caring, and forgiving.
It was for these reasons Jesus Christ said 'Let the Children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these' Mathew 19:14.

The child in the end is the mirror of his parents, even with a new world of the Internet and the good behavior of the family with itself and with the child being immediately translated into the behavior of the child, and the behavior is unacceptable and rational and legitimate and ours may not be exercised or justified
@bestgift (61), 100% true. good thinking. The girls are like candles or clay mud, they will grow in the same way they will build them. There is no end to education, people continue to remain in education until death.Our use of them is to bring children's mental excellence, each step is more important. They are always watching, learning from us. So, they have to mix with them, they have to know, understand. Need to understand what they want. But, a beautiful future Expectation
Very nice and informative post about children. Children have some good habbits. They donot have egostic problems. They forget easily the bad experiences. They love to learn. Yes we should take care of children as there are our future generation. Keep sharing @bestgift
A useful post, Yeah you are right, we should always take care of the children and care for him with kindness until he grows up. Success always for you @bestgift😊
Yes, I will try to bring out that carefree attitude in me. That's how I often see Children, that's how I was when I was a kid I guess. I only care about having fun, nothing more and nothing less.
Wow.... Nice one @bestgift. If everyone can behave like a child our community, state, country and the world at large, will be a better atmosphere to embrace peace and harmony. War, hatred, enemity and evil act will seize. Like you said: learning, loving, caring and forgiveness is the key to longlife and peace. As a matter of fact the best stages of life in human race that embrace peace and love is childhood stage. It's a life free of worries, a perfect life of peace. More grace
Children adopt what we do more than adopt what we say.
We should be careful with our behavior.
Thank for your post.
from psychological point of view our childhood characteristics is always with us after we grow. That is what Jeffrey Young says in his Schema Therapy..
Exactly children needs care and attention . They are like wet cement whatever falls on them makes an impression .
Thanks for this post.
In the scriptures, the Lord says that we should be humble and meek like a child in order for us to understand our trials. 😘
Children are amazing and there is no doubt we can all learn many things from them. They grow and change so fast that for many of us it is hard to keep up. In this quickly changing digital world they are often way ahead of us.
However as the adults in their world we owe it to them to set a very good example. We need to love them, protect them, and cherish their individual personalities.
Children is a hope. They gift us a hope. They life for gift hope to us. All they activities make we learn hope mean.
A child need attention and love. First of all, you have to remember how it was when u where a child, what you wanted, needed care about. What you loved and what you enjoyed doing. If you become a child once in a while maybe when you play with one you can enter in their world and understand them. I am a child therapist and my work is to play with special kids- autism & down syndrome. it s really fun and enjoying!
Great post. Children are like sponges, watch and learn from adults. Parents do not have time for kids or simply do not care. Children do not want much, they want our love and our time. Unfortunately, we sometimes forget that we were children as well.

I enjoyed this post. Let's however know that this piece is asking us to be childlike, not childish. Being childlike is exhibiting the positive characters of children; characters that have been stated above.
One character I'd love to add is honesty. Children don't lie, let's try to be like them.
Children include, from the very first day, a commitment.
We must take care of them and educate them. They will provide us happiness and the option to be proud.
Give them all their attention, They are children only once in your life, appreciate the moment!
