Child's life is a joyful one

"Those are days where everything seems perfect, nothing to worry about, all we have to think is what to play, going around with our friends, sleep and enjoy our time with family and friends".

Yesterday I attended camping with kids here in our place, and my two kids joined there for the first time. This kids camp was facilitated by the women in the church for the kids to have fellowship, and enjoy themselves while they can meet new friends and play. 

Here are some photos with the kids camp outdoor games:

1. Sack race

When was the last time that you played this one, for me, I remember it was 10 years ago, during my teenage life when I was in an out-of-school program.

1. Lemon relay

The kids were very focused in this game, just like they don't breathe when they carry the soon with a lemon. It was last December of 2018 when we play this one in our church Christmas celebration.

1. Tie box relay

While this game was new to me, where the kids have to pass the tie without losing their hands to their teammates. The kids have spent a long time before they finished this game, but, the good thing is they all played even if others have already finished it too late.

I can say that the life of being a child was too precious and innocent, this is the stage of their life, where they can just have fun and do things which they like, and they have started to explore new things and learned from the people around them.

1. Balloon relay

It's not similar to putukan in the Wowowee tv show, hehe but it's a balloon relay, they have to pass the balloon with other group mates by when they finished jumping around their counselors who stand as a post.

Kids loves to play 

When I was a kid, I used to play a lot in my neighborhood every day, from morning until evening, I don't mind what time is it, all I want is to enjoy my day, as long as there is the sun shining. My clothes were so wet and I even look likes bathing in my sweat but still, I didn't think of anything to worry about as long as I can play.

Kids don't mind if what will they eat tomorrow and in the next day

That's how innocent they are, kids are dependent on their parents for their needs, like food, clothing, and shelter. They lived according to what we provided to them. Kids are depending on their parents in everything, that's why those kids who are not nurtured by their parents will suffer and they will end up so pitiful.

This is one thing that an adult person cannot escape in their life because they are often thinking about how they can survive in their daily living and seeking for financial income to provide their respective families.

Kids are very honest

They speak what they heard, they learned from what they see, and they imitate our actions. They don't lie, instead, they will tell the truth and nothing but the truth.

I have experienced one time, when my niece who is a 6 years old boy, was told by her mother to tell the loan collector that she was not in the house. Well, she's just hiding in the kitchen, the boy gets out when someone knocks on the door, and he said:" my mom says she's not here, and she's inside the house".Her mom who was hiding was laughing as well as the collector because the child didn't lie instead he reveals the truth. So, don't tell your son or daughter to lie because for sure they will not succeed in lying.

Kids didn't keep their emotions for a long time

Have you observed if a child has quarreled with their friends, they might be mad for a short period but later on, after a few minutes or an hour, they will reconcile and be friends again with each other? But, when an adult will fight, it will take time, months, or years more to go before they fix it, but not for all people. There are also instances that adults will settle immediately if they will humble down themselves with each other.

While our children are young we should let them play, and enjoy their life with their friends because they will not stay a child forever, after a few more years, all of the memories of their childhood will be stored in their memory lane until they have a family too?

An adult may live like a child?

Is it possible, to behave and live like a child? Yes, it is. We can live in similar with kids, similar in a form in which we live with a humble, forgiving, and dependent on our creator all the time

We can exist in a joyful life, if we are living in contentment, working with patients, and avoiding pressure, without forcing ourselves on unbearable things. By not forcing ourselves to do things that we cannot handle, we might lose joy and happiness in our lives, if we live with too much pressure and expectations.

Live like a child

Be innocent in doing bad things, don't keep emotional baggage, and enjoy your daily life. A child always spends time playing outdoor games and mingling with their friends. Same with us we need to give extra time to talk and have social relationships with human beings.

End notes:

Being a child is a stage of life that is so quick, just like my kids, now they are growing and my eldest son was already having a big voice unlike before, and my daughter is now slowly becoming a little "dalagang pilipina", I can say that time runs so fast, as I have observed their changes lately in their physicality. So, while they are young they deserve to play and lived like a child and enjoy their journey as a kid.

What was your memorable childhood playtime?

I appreciate everyone for reading this post.
