Children are like soft clay—whatever touches them leaves a mark. Their life is like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs, but what matters most to them is the fun of the journey, not just the destination. From birth to teenage years, children have the most powerful imagination and can think of ideas that even adults may not.

As they grow, children learn how to feel, share, and interact with others. They slowly build their social skills and way of looking at life. Often, even with little knowledge, a child can give amazing answers to problems, because their mind sees things differently.

Experts say child growth depends on the *3-D mode: Physical Development, Social Development, and Emotional Development*. These three areas help children explore and understand the world. For example, when a 5-year-old draws space, their creativity can surprise everyone. All children need is love and care—the “paintbrush” that lets them fill life’s canvas with bright colors of curiosity and dreams.

A positive and healthy environment is very important. If children grow up in love and encouragement, they develop confidence and a wide vision of life. Parents and teachers should not scold children for mistakes, but motivate them to ask questions, even if they seem silly, because questions are the first step to learning.

The big question is: Do we want children to grow in fear and limits, or in love and support? Every child should be free to dream—and never give up. – “Children are not things to be molded, but people to be unfolded.”

– “Every child is a different kind of flower, and together they make this world a beautiful garden.”
