Every child has those moments that they will always remember and learn from, whether it’s from jumping on the bed and falling, to eating a food that they don’t like. I learned 7 important things while growing up from being a little innocent 5 year old to almost 16. Some people can relate to almost all or 2 - 3.
While thinking about the 7 things that i learned as a child it hit me hard how the things i did,saw and heard as a child would make me think differently and make the person i am today. The #1 thing i learned as a child is 1. Growing up isn’t always the best. As a little kid i think we all just wanted to go up to drive, be independent and etc, but it’s actually not as easy as i thought it would be, which brings me to my next point. 2. Enjoy every moment, don’t stress too much, when we were children we didn’t have any major problems, the biggest worry was if we hit our siblings or friends,hey would threaten you by telling your mom. Now as a teenager we stress about school, friends,family, etc. When we were kids we were just happy little children now we’re changing into adulthood and some people aren’t as happy kids.
Personally i’m very VERY picky with food so I never liked trying new foods or anything out of my comfort zone which brings me to point 3. Try more food as well as point 4. Always take risks. Taking risk is actually very important as it helps you see what you like and don’t like, in this case taking risk with food shows that.
My next 3 point are obvious and i always find myself telling my nieces, point 5. Always be nice to everyone around you. This is just plain manners but sometimes especially as kids they don’t care what they say or do as long as they don't get in trouble and are happy it’s fine. But as teenagers we start to not see how we treat most people we just “go with the flow” , we don’t see our own actions like kids. So that point is important because who doesn’t like when people are randomly nice to them?. Next 2 points are just common sense but I was always told this, 6. Never touch the stove and 7. Never talk to strangers. No explanation necessary.
