Childhood is the most important phase of a human being. We treasure our chilhood days and cherish those beautiful memories throughout our lives. It is the time when we are under the guidance of our parents. They take care of all our needs. It is the period when we gain our first informal kind of socialization. Parents are our first teachers. The provide us with our gender roles. Kids have the tendency to observe since they are three years old. They carefully assess the activities of their father and mother and evaluate the duties of a male and a female. We go to a nursery holding our parents hands. Parents show us the outer world. But unfortunately we are scared, we cry to go to our familiar environment "home". Our parents decide our lives,then. They wish we gain the best education than any other kid in the whole wide world. They leave us in the hand of our teachers. Perhaps, the next day also we cry and try to stay with our parents at home like the happy olden days.
Day by day we grow, when we finally are more interested in the outer world than our home with our parents. A sudden change in our desires. We go out of homes far far away for higher education or for better professions. What a drastic change! "My little daughter has grown up. She who once was scared and stayed behind me is all alone by herself" , a mother would think.
This doesn't mean we should quite erase the memories of our childhood just out of shame that we were so meek and unable to stand alone. It's a great feeling to go back to those days!!!
Do you remember the day when your father held your hand and made you walk?
Do you remember the day when your mother fed you rice telling you beautiful fairy tales?
Do you remember the day when tour parents kissed and cuddles you?
The very thought of it brings me to tears.......
We ought to remember them. Don't we?
