A child is born into this divine light and brings with it a whole world, only his own, belonging to him, still unknown to anyone, unique. And along with his coming brings happiness to loved ones. After all, only a small person is capable of truly rejoicing, being amazed at his surroundings and admiring everything that he sees. And his parents and relatives, seeing the world through his eyes, begin to smile and laugh with him.
But because adults can talk about their children? All is only the best and the best. Over time, little people grow up. But there are memories of happy moments. Is it because any statement about childhood breathes positive? Most often they say about this period of life as a wonderful time of cloudless happiness.
Children are a source of inspiration
There is an opinion that wisdom and knowledge come only with experience. But children do not solve life questions with reason, but intuitively, and therefore sometimes they can easily answer complex questions. And these thoughts are as simple as they are brilliant.
Where can they come from in the head of a little man? Who knows! But some scholars seriously believe that every newborn comes into the world as a genius. Others think a little differently. They are sure that there are no gifted children. But only because each of them is endowed by nature with talents enough to reach the level of genius. Only, unfortunately, the elders are not always able to develop the natural inclinations of the wards entrusted to their cares.
Don’t say that adults have something to learn from their children. And so it would be nice to start the list of statements about childhood and children with a beautiful quote from an unknown author.
My children are my wings behind me!
My children are my stars above the earth!
My children are my happiness forever!
My children - and wealth, and years!
My children are my continuation!
My children are what God has given me!
My children - I dedicate my life to you!
My children are my joy, my I!
Children are the source of wisdom
The impressive informative baggage accumulated over the millennia by mankind, the child literally absorbs into himself at the age of five years.

Recalling this to adults, Korney Chukovsky, a wonderful and beloved Soviet writer by all the kids, gave the world one of his statements about childhood, short but capacious.
A child is a great hard worker.
How to help a little man develop all natural skills in himself and at the same time not destroy the unique world that exists around him?

It contains many beautiful sayings about childhood, as well as about adults who, having forgotten that they were once small, lost their simplicity, at the same time losing something important, and most importantly - a world full of pristine purity.
All adults were children at first, only few of them remember this.
When you say to adults: “I saw a beautiful house made of red brick, with geraniums in the windows, and pigeons on the roof,” they just can't imagine this house. They need to be told: "I saw a house for one hundred thousand francs." And then they exclaim: "What a beauty!"
People no longer have time to learn anything. They buy things ready in stores. But after all there are no such shops where they would trade friends, and therefore people no longer have friends.
Adults love numbers. When you tell them that you have a new friend, they will never ask about the most important thing. They will never say: “And what is his voice?” What games does he like to play? Does he catch butterflies? ” They ask: “How old is he? How many brothers does he have? How much does he weigh? How much does his father earn? ” And after that they imagine that they recognized a person.

Childhood is the time when you believe in fairy tales, Santa Claus, you remember all the good for a long time, and you forget the bad quickly. This is the time when your parents are nearby and will always help you and save you from the terrible "woman".
When recollecting this, people are usually covered with light sadness. And it is not surprising, because even if for some reason this time turned out to be not very successful and not very happy for a person, in childhood it seemed that everything was still possible, everything was ahead. And one day a miracle will surely happen and the world will change, opening its arms with love.
Little ones rush time, hoping to soon go to school, then learn, start working, create their own family, raise children. And only later they understand the full value of the past years and the irrevocability of the loss. And what to do? After all, childhood is really impossible to return, as well as saying “stop” to your years, which rush inexorably and rapidly.
Not every child becomes famous. But all the famous people were once children. The following are statements about the childhood of great people.

Children perception of the world
The child lives, noting happy moments in his memory. He calculates the days until the next holiday, exists in awe of the next gift from adults. And parents turn into Santa Clauses and fairies. Such vivid impressions determine the life of a small person. A small room with the power of children's imagination can turn into a store, train, plane, even the royal palace. Isn't that magic!
As you grow older, existence turns into an endless series of problems, the solution of which takes place all the time. Happiness in the adult period is determined not by the number of holidays, but by the lack of worries, although it is impossible to completely avoid them. The value of life is determined by the availability of money. And the more of them, the better. But even they do not bring happiness and so much joy as a simple scooter presented once in childhood. It turns out that with age, desires increase, and the value of the received decreases.
The following statements about childhood will describe him better than clever words. These are the sayings of the little men themselves, lovingly compiled by Korney Chukovsky to prove how original the logic of the child can be.

Children are the meaning of life
Ask any happy person: what is the source of his joy? Most often, he will answer that in children. Indeed, there are other occupations and interests in life, but nothing and no one brings such a strong satisfaction and awareness of the integrity of the past years as sons or daughters.
Children are the light that illuminates the existence of their loved ones. It is on them that adults have their hopes, considering them to be their continuation. They are intended to fulfill those dreams that adults themselves could not realize in practice. Moreover, children are the immortality of their parents. And the goal of every father or mother is to make their children happy. This is also indicated by the following remarkable statements about childhood.
Only children will help you learn how much patience you have. Folk wisdom
As a child, I did what my father wanted. Now I am doing what my son wants. When will I do what I want? Sam Levenson

These sayings prove how dear their parents are to their parents, how enormous reserves of patience the closest people have, how much they can do and really invest in the education of their descendants. And a child, growing up, repays his debts to his children. And that's why our life continues.
