A childhood is supposed to be like whatever you want it to be like. If you want it to be fun, it's supposed to be fun. If you want it to be boring, let it be boring. If your fun is outside playing sports, go play those sports. If you're fun is sitting inside and playing video games, sit inside and play video games. Everyone's childhood is going to be different. The only thing that matters is that you have fun and enjoy it. Don't waste your childhood trying to be an adult or not having fun, because when you grow up, you'll regret it.

Childhood is supposed to be a moment of exploration, it's when you gather information about the world and live life freely. during this time it is important for parents to make an effort to be with the kids and help them form a valuable presentation of the real world and the endless amounts of possibilities while also teaching them to be strong. Kids at this age have such undeveloped minds to it is important for a kid to learn how to stay strong in their own beliefs and important for parents to teach kids how to be good people as they grow older.

Childhood is the most important age for having better transformation to adulthood. Childhood/Teenage years is considered to be important because its the age of learning things. Many of them tend to choose the wrong path because it appears to be the "cool" one or it is done by others. Its the age where many get influenced by others and enter into wrong relationships and when broken, few of them get affected by it a lot and choose to end life or enter the phase of depression. Also, its the age of learning from bad sources. Therefore, I would say that every teenager or any child below the age of 11, should be thought about good, bad, etc from adults/teachers/parents. They should read books, to gain knowledge and impart the skill of interest in reading and writing. Also, there are many such things which a child can do and should do and its good to pursue such things and help them impart them in their life.
