Are there times when you wish you could be a child again? What lessons have you learned by observing your children? Do you think adults tend to take themselves too seriously? vradhik replied. the learnt these things after i had my son :
1) Say NO when u mean to say No
2) Ask for what you want instead of assuming the other person will understand that you need it and then get disappointed sometimes
3) If you want to, you can do it. It is only a metter of how much you want it
4) If you want someones attention, do something the other person likes so that you get noticed.
guess i can go on and on.. :) Nitin replied. I agree that adults tend to forget what they have learnt as children. Adults think that these lessons no longer apply to them because they have grown up. It is time that people realise that they should appreciate all their childhood experiences. Babita replied. There are days when I do wish I was a child. Things just seem so much more complicated now that I am a grown up. However, being an adult has its benefits too. As an adult, I have a husband and family of my own. When I was a child, I depended on my parents but today I have people who depend on me. Kareena replied. I agree that we have much to learn from our children. Just the other day, I was feeling upset for some work-related reason. My small daughter came up to me and asked me why I was sad. When I told her I lost something, she hugged me and said don' t worry mama, you will get another one. I felt so much better after that. Anurag replied. I enjoyed reading this article thoroughly. The article truly touched a chord in my heart. Our lives change so drastically between childhood and adulthood. We think things have changed because we have grown up and the world has changed. In reality, it is we ourselves who have changed by becoming adults.
