Childhood is a time of exploration and discovery, filled with joy and wonder, and is a time to learn, grow, and develop into the person we will become. Childhood is full of fun activities such as playing games, exploring nature, making friends, learning new skills and having adventures. It's also a time to learn important life lessons like responsibility, respect for others and how to be kind. Childhood provides us with the opportunity to make mistakes without serious consequences so that we can grow from them. Through childhood experiences we build our foundation for life - our values, beliefs and attitudes that shape who we are today.
