Why Kids?

October 26th, 2011

Have you asked yourself why kids are very much different from adults? As you can see, besides the age and the appearance, there are many things that you will see in kids that you will not in most. Some might oppose is, but for sure, there will be more individuals who will react in a different way.

Why kids are easy to please is a question that will received varied answers. Of course, all of us have been kids at one point in our lives, but how we have spent our childhood is different from the way others did.

Everything about kids is something that most of us are really interested in. Although there are some who will not admit it, but deep inside their hearts, they still have the feeling of being a child within themselves, which is very true. All of us, regardless of our ages, still have the tendency to act like a child since we have that childlike attitude still in us.

As you can see, the happiness of the kids is not hard to find as compared to the adults. This is because as we get older, the way we see life is also enormously changing. We can really say that life for most people gets a little more complicated. This is the reason why there are some people who cannot find their happiness since they are always expecting something that will really make them satisfied with their lives.

These things do not exist in the lives of the children. For them, life is simple and easy. If they have problems to deal with, all they will do is to run to their parents and everything will be alright for them. They are not yet familiar with the words such as: problems, dilemma, worries, fear, stress, and pressure. In the eyes of a kid, life is all about having fun and getting what they want.

There are many things that will show you the simplicity of kids: foods, clothes, and many more stuffs. One good example is when they celebrate their birthdays. Rarely will you see and hear a child asking for extravagant celebration. For them, they are happy and contented as long as there will be foods, toys, games, and their friends.

There are also kids that have the golden hearts and see things differently from the way the elders are seeing. Ask them complicated things and they will give you simple answers. Give them hard and puzzling pictures and they will view it in a different way. Tell them the world’s problems and they will tell you something that will surely make you think and be enlightened.

As you see, kids are full of hope, happiness, and zest for life. It is really understandable since they are not yet exposed to the trials and difficulties that everyone will surely encounter. They still have their parents who are willingly playing the role of shock absorbers for them.

But if you will think and analyze closely, these things that kids are enjoying are also applicable to adults. Why worry much when you have the chance to feel the opposite way? It is only us that are making life complicated, but in reality, life is indeed simple and easy.

So you see, the question of why kids could also teach their elders should not surprise you anymore; because it is really feasible and could happen to most of us.

Why Kids Should Be Often Seen Playing Outside

December 29th, 2011

There is the mini-debate going on among parents nowadays—whether they should allow their kids to play outside their houses or not. Why kids must be given the go signal to play outside or should parents put limitations on them strictly is a question that will be met by varied reactions from different parents.

Why kids should play outside? If you are a parent to your small kids, will you forbid them to go outside and play with their friends or will you give them the freedom to do what they want as long as you are there watching them?

Just like what has been said before, the concept of allowing kids outside is a debate that has been going on for several years now. There are many reasons why parents will have diverse reactions on this issue. And it will be interesting to know what these reasons are.

For parents who do not want their kids to play outside, they have the following reasons:

  •  They fear about the safety of their kids outside. Stuffs like fast moving vehicle, wild animals, bad and naughty play mates and many more are making some parents to be very worried to their kids.
  • They want to have the full monitor of their kids and know what they are doing at all times.
  •  They always want their kids to be clean and they want to prevent them from holding and touching dirty things.

For those parents who are giving all the time to their kids to play outside have the following reasons:

  •  They just want their small children to enjoy their youth and have fun together with their friends.
  •  They fully understand that this is the nature of kids since they, too, had been in this stage before.
  •  They also want their kids to meet more friends and make them develop their decision-making capabilities.

If you will look and study closely the respective reasons of the opposite sides, you can really say that they have all their point. Allowing the kids to play outdoor or not will really have to depend on the preference of the parents.

Moreover, a recent study has come out in the public that shows the many benefits that kids are getting from playing outside. This study has been done by experts and people who have vast knowledge and experience about the kid’s issue.

The following are the benefits to gain from outdoor playing:

  •  Allowing them to play outdoor will benefit them as they will not only what they are doing, but they will also have the chance to burn the excess energy they have acquired from eating too much or from consuming the wrong types of foods.
  •  Kids that are often engaged in outdoor activities, they will be given the opportunity to burn off the unwanted chemicals inside their bodies which are making them to behave hyperactive.
  •  If your kids are girls, then it is very important that they will be encourage to go outside and get involved in any outdoor stuffs so they can avoid the risk of suffering from obesity.

October 29th, 2011

If there is one thing in your life that you will surely love to experience all over again, this will be none other than to be a kid again. For sure, each of us will really like to be young and be a kid even for a day so we can be free from the problems and stress in our day to day lives. This will explain why kids are unwillingly attracting everyone to live life the way they do.

Why kids cannot be underestimate is another thing that this article will show you. While there are kids who cannot wait to grow so they can do anything they want without any restriction from their parents, there are also adults who like to be young again and live as if they are just beginning in this world.

Let us compare the life of an adult from that of a kid. Below are their comparisons and it will be just up to you which one is better from the other:

Adult’s life:

  • There is much freedom in making decisions and everything you want can be achieved without asking the permission of your parents.
  • One can have the thing he wants as long as he will have the job that will support these material things.
  • He can go to different places and see the world.
  • Can have fun and spend the whole night with his friends without worrying that their parents will scold them.
  • One can sleep at anytime of the night and can also watch all the TV programs without the worry of his parents’ scrutiny.

Kid’s life:

  • One cannot make his own decision and have to depend on his parents most of the times
  • He will have to ask his parents for the stuffs he likes such as toys or to play at the park
  • He can only go different places if his parents will be with him
  • He is not allowed to stay late at night especially during school days
  • He cannot watch television shows unless his parents will allow him.

What you have read are just a few of the comparisons between an adult and a kid. As you can see, adults seem to have the edge over the kids in all aspects. You can even conclude that a kid’s life is actually controlled by his parents. Unlike if you are grown up, you have the ability to make your own decision.

However, despite these advantages, then how come there are still people who like to be young and be a kid again? If you do not have the answer for this, below are the explanations that will enlighten you.

  • Kids are spared from worries and problems
  • They are not living a stressful life since their parents who are blocking these negative stuffs before they could reach them
  • Everything are prepared for them: foods, shelter, and clothes
  • They can sleep the whole day and play with their friends even on weekdays.

The above mentioned things are the reasons why kids are the envy of most adults. As you can see, although kids are basically controlled by their parents, it cannot be denied that they are living a much fun and enjoyable life than an adult. For sure, no one will bother to make an argument out of this claim.

Why kids learn so easily? This is one of the common observations that most of us have on our kids. Teach them new things and they can easily adapt within just a matter of time. No matter how hard or difficult it is, kids amazingly find ways on how they can cope and handle it.

Why kids easily adapt to their surroundings? This is another question that even the field of science cannot provide a distinct answer for. Take a 4-year old kid as an example, how can you explain the kid’s ability to cope with the things around him even if these stuffs are still stranger to him? Do you have a convincing answer for it?

This article will show and demonstrate to you the amazing capability of our kids in various situations that sometimes really baffle and leave us in awe. Although they are still kids and have young minds, it is not a reason for us to underestimate them.

If you want your kids to grow with the right attitudes and the right values, then you should teach them the right things as early as possible. Show them the right way by setting yourself as a good example.

The following are some of the virtues that you can plant on them:

  • Respect to elders—teaching your kids to respect the people who are older than them is one of the things that kids must learn at their young minds so they will have this virtue as they grow old.
  • Punctuality—teaching them the virtue of punctuality will make them remember the importance not only of their time but as well as the time of others. Doing things early and at the right time will prepare them as they grow up and face the different challenges in their lives.
  • Good judgment—this virtue will help them decide by weighing things first and analyzing the situations carefully. This will also enable them to realize that life is all about making the right choice at a particular situation.
  • Independence—teach your kids that they cannot and should not always depend on others. Tell them that it is much better to stand on their own feet instead of waiting for someone to do them a favor.
  • Camaraderie—teach them that success in life is not measured by the quantity of your properties or wealth. Emphasize that having many good and true friends are much better than having wealth. Explain to them that all of us will need someone beside us since no man an island.
  • Fear of God—if there is one thing that you should not forget to teach your kids, this is none other than to fear of God. This aspect should be crystal clear to them so they will grow in the right path. Fear in the sense that they will not do things that are not pleasing to the eyes of the Maker.
  • Believe in self—you should also not forget to teach your kids that they must have the confidence and the faith on themselves. Tell them that they should always have faith in their ability regardless of how hard the situation is.
