How far back can you remember? What age is the latest you can remember a fond moment that gave you joy? Can you even remember your childhood? Some people can’t and that is a shame. Children are forced to grow up before they are ready and they suffer for it all their lives. They never get to truly enjoy what being a child was about.
Especially with a world now in days that does not allow kids to keep their innocence. Even kids cartoons now in days have hints of sexual or adult content mixed into it. I remember watching pbs kids as a child and I loved all the educational programs such as cyberchase, sesame street, franklin, arthur, etc. Though some of these don’t focus on specific education values they surely taught me moral values. Its crazy how positive programming can assist a kid with keeping their innocence. Now don’t get me wrong I don’t believe tv programs can completely influence a childs life direction but I do believe it does have a little part in their life.
When I was growing up I was able to go outside and play sports, games, etc with my friends. Now in days kids stay inside and play their video games or just watch random shows while sitting on their couch not experiencing the joy of outside physical activity. This is unacceptable. Our childhood is about experimenting and seeing what we find enjoyment in different things.
This post has a bunch of my random thoughts but the whole point of it is to ask what is important to you as an adult when it comes to a child? Should they or should they not enjoy it before they become adults and most their time is consumed with work and bills. Should or should they not live with responsibility but not too much to remove their natural innocence? Is it something terrible to introduce kids to positive programs on tv or the outdoors so they can create great memories? What are your opinions?
