Among School Children :: miscellaneous

Among School ChildrenIts amazing how you tin can grow up and forget childhood-excitement, or the feeling of it. I was watching a full-length lot of small children a eon ago and was sad to realise that Ive lost some of the wonder of being a child.I was nigh(a) to a sweet stall and it was amazing to just see the looks on the childrens faces as their gaze fell upon the colourful treasure. Their eyes glowed and all of a sudden their hands transformed into magnets, attr fermented to the sweets. Some would just walk to the stall, grab a sweet and shove it in their mouth before anyone could stop them. I saw twins, a boy and a girl about two years old. They both had huge blue eyes and couldnt resist compass out to the sweets. Their mother tried desperately to stop them and the little girl looked at her with those irresistible eyes and smiled as if to say, How can you resist me? All the while the mother was probably worrying about them getting rotten teeth. We have forgotten the innocenc e of childhood and sometimes cannot see just the positive aspects of things. other little girl, about five years old, brought a friend to choose some sweets. While choosing what they wanted, the little girl pointed to some and said, Those atomic number 18 bubblegum. But you cant have them. Her friend asked her why and she answered, Because Im not allowed to. We sometimes forget how to appreciate and enjoy a moment to the fullest. When children see their friends its as if just seeing them gives them an enormous amount of energy. They run up to them shouting in excitement and immediately they run off together to play. Children are able to show their true emotions in a way grownups cant/wont. They dont worry about other peoples reactions, they act on impulse.Sometimes I think that we burden children with our worries and fears and in a way we steal their treasured childhood. Instead of forcing them to rely on their imagination, we just heterotaxy on the television and let actors ente rtain them. Children become desensitised because we expect them to handle things that are beyond their understanding. We trap their abundant energy by feeding them chuck out to keep them quiet and buying playstations to keep them occupied instead of letting them run around and play, and then fall asleep, exhausted, to their own dreams not simulated ones.
