Childhood is a stage in which a young person undergoes changes in his body be it physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Usually what a child does during his toddler until pre-school years is learning how to walk, say his first word, and eat solids foods. By two years of age he is able to identify emotions such as being happy or being sad. In this stage, a child has the tendency to do temper tantrums. It is sometimes best to ignore this type of attitude among children as they are only seeking attention. In this stage, it is hard to control a child’s wants and needs. By the age of three years, they are able to explore and enjoy the things around them. They are able to use all of their fine motor skills such as kicking a ball or going up and down the stairs without the need of assistance.

Throughout the years, a child can enjoy many things such as having a birthday celebration. This is the time where he can experience joy, laughter and recognition in which people sings him a happy birthday song, thinking of a happy birthday wish, mingle with other children, share toys and just being the playful little tikes as they are.

When a child grows, he learns many things, encounters different people around him. It is through this time the he is able to adapt in his environment. A child can become influenced with lots of stuffs depending which people he comes across to and how parents teach their children what is right from wrong.

Children are molded into what they become in the future in which it depends of what they have experience in the past. Some will become great leaders while others will just be ordinary followers. Either way, it is up to us to teach the up and coming generations the value and importance of life.
