stay kids
they have plenty of time to be grown up, so they should relish being a kid as long as they are allowed.
Kids should be Kids!
If you push them to grow up, they don’t have the opportunity to learn from their own mistakes. They will never develop into their own person…they will just be the person that you want them to be which will never lead to their own happiness. Let them learn to be themselves!
Should kids just be kids or constantly strive to grow up?
There is a time and place for everything. There is only a limited window where society deems it appropriate to behave like a kid so ot should completely be taken advantage of. You have the rest of your life to be an adult.
Kids should be kids for as
Kids should be kids for as long as they can. They have the rest of their whole lives to be adults.
Kids MUST Be Kids
Kids must be allowed to be kids, because kids being kids is the only true way that they can become healthy adults.
Kids v grownups
Kids should be kids while young. When older, they should be more adult. They can learn from their parents what to do and when to do it.
I think kids should be kids
I think kids should be kids asa long as possible.
Kids should be kids
Enjoy childhood while you can.
Don't try being grown up
I think they should stay in a child’s place. Don’t try being grown. But should mature and act as if when they get the welcomed chance in the presence and under the tutellage of responsible adults.
