No matter how old we become, we still are a child at heart and this is true for everyone. One should always be a kid from inside without worrying about the age, because age is just a number.

However many of us have suppressed the child inside us, either due to pressure from parents, teachers, bosses or society, who often say that don’t be a kid, stop behaving kiddish, think logically etc. Thus the resultant is dull and stressful life, without any excitement and happiness and if we analyse then we will see that we have lost the most important thing in life, that is nothing but the childlike innocence and spontaneity.

Thus we must always try to keep a little corner in our heart for the child inside us because a child never cares about anything and lives every moment of life. Let us see why it is important to keep the child inside you alive and happy:

1. A child has a carefree attitude and gives a damn to the society, thus if we keep the child inside, active it will keep you strong and away from all the negative demands of society.
2. A child is always full of hope and has positive outlook towards everything and for it nothing is impossible.
3. A child is not at all biased towards anything or anyone and is true to all, thus it will ensure that we remain honest to ourself and others.
4. The child inside you will keep you motivated throughout and will enable you to complete the task because a child never quits anything. For e.g. an infant will keep on trying to walk no matter how many time it falls.
5. A child is never limited by any boundaries or rules and thus catering to the inner child will make sure that we get free from all the undue rules and limitations posed by the society.
6. A child is a very good learner and keeps on asking questions and learning new things and that to without any hesitation. However as an adult we feel that asking too much, may not be appreciated by others and they might become a laughing stalk by all.
7. A child is very energetic and ready for everything, no matter what happens and thus keeping the child inside you alive will make you feel active and have a positive and a always ready attitude towards everything.
8. Child is full of creativity in each and every aspect of life. It can come out with ways which we can never think of.
9. A child has faith/ trust on all (on friends, parents, teachers etc.) but we suffer from trust issues because we have suppressed the child inside us.

All this shows that how important it is to keep the child inside us active. This however doesn’t mean that we don’t allow us to grow up but to keep the childlike innocence alive within us.

Although growing up is a continuous process and we become mature both mentally and physically with every passing day, and also we keep on becoming more and more wise with time and experience but all this should not be at the cost of suppression of the inner child
