Childhood is the best time in a person’s life. And gold is the best and most valuable metal. Therefore, childhood is called the “golden time”.
Yes, childhood really is a golden time. And all people will remember this time with great love and regret throughout their lives - after all, there is no return there.
The time of childhood is from the birth of a child to adolescence, approximately up to 11–13 years. But in our time, this period has been postponed, and sometimes eighteen-year-old boys and girls who run over a child at a crossing or shoot a random passer-by are considered children. Well, what to take from young and unreasonable children - of course, nothing. But no, there is no trial.
Childhood is the only time when you are not responsible for anything: you do not have to work and feed your family, teach children and treat mom and dad, pay mortgages and loans. This is the most carefree time in a person's life. Yes, of course there are problems. But how funny they will turn out to be later!
This is the only time when you endlessly believe in magic and miracles. And only then beautiful fairies fly everywhere and wave their magic wands. And crowds of Santa Clauses with bags of gifts are running around the New Year's city looking for you. And you can write a letter to Santa Claus so that he will fulfill your deepest wish - he really exists. But a person needs to believe in something - it doesn’t matter what: you can’t live without faith.
As a child, you are loved just like that, and not for something: for money, hectares of land, power and a diploma with honors. They rejoice at you when you come into this world, when you walk into a room, when you wake up and eat semolina porridge.
The whole world seems huge and wonderful: the moon and stars are big and bright, the colors are rich, mom’s perfume is magical, mom is the most beautiful, and dad is the smartest and strongest. And even a five-meter kitchen is spacious.
Everything seems surprisingly easy: it’s easy to approach the girl you like, take her hand and offer friendship. It is easy to jump over jumping ropes and jump on one leg. And everyone can sing and dance. And everyone reads poetry in childhood, as it seems. And they draw beautifully. And where does it all go then?
It's very easy to hide when you're a child: you just have to close your eyes. And that’s it! Ears can also be plugged for better effect. And if you crawl with your head under the blanket, then no one will find you at all. It’s great to hide in a closet: you have space and you can breathe well. Therefore, in childhood you need to use all the opportunities - then you won’t be able to hide from problems.
As a child, nothing hurts you. Yes, a baby tooth will fall out. Or there will be an abrasion on the knee. But the legs run quickly, the arms rise high, the eyes look keenly. And in the evening there is no fatigue - I would run and run.
When nothing hurts, it’s very great. But when your soul doesn’t hurt, it’s doubly great. And as a child, your soul doesn’t yet hurt: everyone is alive and well and can take care of themselves without your participation.
Dreams in childhood are very vivid. They just have to come true. Necessarily! And I will become the most beautiful, smartest, study at a “fairy school” to become the main fairy, successfully marry a prince and have a little white kitten. Or I will become the most powerful uncle in the Penza region, marry a rich grandmother, and she will soon die and leave me her palace and pony horse.
Falling asleep as a child is easy, and waking up is easy. And joyfully: and this is the main thing. And smiling in the morning is not something, but just because.
A happy childhood, as they said under socialism, cannot be returned. And although in old age many return to childhood or “fall into it,” this is already considered a diagnosis. Yes, it’s a pity for such old people; they are trying to treat and rehabilitate them. Or maybe they feel good there? In this “most golden time”? But, unfortunately, we will never know about this.
Essay 2
The most beautiful, carefree and unforgettable period of a person’s life is childhood. The country we all dream of returning to. A carefree time when parents solve all the difficulties and problems, and the child just enjoys life. The concept of “problem” is alien to him.
You wake up early in the morning, breakfast is already ready. Outside the window, birds chirp loudly and the river gurgles. All time belongs only to you and only you decide how to manage it. There is no boss over you who demands that you complete all your work on time, prepare reports, and write explanatory notes.
Childhood is freedom. At this age you can create, draw, learn to play musical instruments, and play sports. During these years you learn how this world works. Mother Nature is the best person to help in this matter. Its vast forests, mountains, sea, rivers and fields. Animals that live in their natural environment.
In the summer you go to your grandmother. She lives in a wonderful place where you can be alone with nature. There is a choice: do you want to go hiking in the forest or go to the river, swim or fish.
It’s so great to go to the river early in the morning, when the sun is just starting to rise. This morning gentle light cannot be forgotten. He's so beautiful. You can see everything with it, but it doesn’t interfere with sleep. Does not hit the eyes with bright rays of the sun.
At this time, you lie down on the grass wet with dew, close your eyes and hear the quiet murmur of water. A light breeze blows, swaying the strands of hair. You slowly fall into a state of slumber, and then wake up from the bright rays of the sun and the singing of birds. The fishermen had already left and caught several buckets of fish. The water has already warmed up from the rays of the sun and it’s time to swim.
It’s so cool to dive under the blue surface of the water and see small and large bubbles. There is a life of its own underwater. The little fish quickly swim away when they see a person approaching them. During your childhood, thanks to diving, you learned to hold your breath underwater. This is very good for the lungs.
During this carefree time, we loved watching adults and dreamed of becoming just like them. We were in a hurry to grow up and did not value childhood, but it ended very quickly. It is so important to learn to value time. After all, you can now return to those times only in memories.
CHILDHOOD
CHILDHOOD, the period of a person’s life from birth to adolescence.
Psychology treats age as a period in the development of personality, there are several. approaches to periodization of D., associated with understanding the driving forces of mental. development - the method of obtaining food (American psychologist W. Hutchinson), the type of intelligence and the level of organization of thinking processes (E. Claparède, J. Piaget), psychosexual development (S. Freud, A. Freud), the formation of identity (E. Erikson) , social situation of development (L. S. Vygotsky), leading type of activity (A. N. Leontiev), etc. In Russia. psychology D. is considered on the basis of cultural-historical psychology and activity theory, which studies the process of appropriation of social experience by a child as a result of his activity, decl. types of activities, upon mastering which there is a transition from the assimilation of external, material actions with objects to the performance of internal, mental actions. In Russia In psychology, the following periodization of childhood is common: infancy (from birth to 1 year), early childhood (1–3), preschool age (from 3 to 6–7), primary school age (from 6–7 to 11–12), adolescence age (from 11–12 to 14–15). According to your mental During development, the child becomes a person capable of reflection and independence. actions based on consciously set goals. At the age of 15–17, when a person acquires the basic necessities for independence. life in a society of skills and abilities, D. is replaced by youth. Understanding the boundaries of D. in society depends on the prevailing stereotypes that distinguish a child from an adult. Ch. social function of D., consisting in preparing a person for adult independence. life, determines the specifics of age differentiation (for example, division into kindergarteners, schoolchildren and students), duration (D. becomes longer as training and education become more complex) and originality of D. Additional. The factor in determining the age limits of D. is the rate of individual maturation of the organism; for example, the ratio of biological, mental. and the social age of the child depends on the climate, geography, ecology. and sociocultural environment.
D. occurs as a regular process of changing stable and critical. ages, and at each stage of childhood, a relationship specific to a given age develops between the child and the social reality around him (L. S. Vygotsky). The stable period is characterized by harmony between the environment and the child’s attitude towards it; at this time the child develops relatively slowly, small changes accumulate gradually, and then some age-related new formation appears abruptly, which conflicts with the child’s established relationship with the world. Overcoming this contradiction determines the explosive nature of development in critical science. periods when a child is often characterized as difficult to educate and uncontrollable. Thus, the transition of a child from one age category to another is often accompanied by an age crisis (the crisis of the newborn, the crisis of one year, 3, 7, 13 and 17 years are distinguished).
The development of a child covers a number of interconnected areas: psychophysical (changes in the body and well-being), personal (formation of identity, self-awareness and self-regulation), cognitive (maturation of cognitive abilities, intelligence), emotional, moral, etc. Social experience acquired by the child , and biological factors act as sources and conditions for the development of the psyche. During ontogenesis, these conditions change significantly, creating specific conditions at each stage. prerequisites for the formation of new mental. opportunities (see Sensitive period). Disputes about what determines the process of child development - heredity or environment, training and upbringing - led to the emergence of the theory of convergence, the interaction of these two factors (V. Stern), as well as to the identification in a number of theories of a third factor - activity as an active state of the body , ensuring adaptation to the environment and its transformation.
Psychological D.'s research, conducted from the end. 19th century in line with such scientific disciplines such as child psychology, developmental psychology, educational psychology are of great importance for pedagogical. practice, creating conditions for training and education.
In sociology, D. is a system of interaction between children and adults in the context of social institutions and practices existing in a particular society at a given period. During childhood, the formation of a future member of society, a citizen, occurs through socialization and in the process of integration of subcultures of the child and the adult. At the same time, D. is an important component of society associated with its reproduction. From this point of view, children constitute a demographic category of the population. The future of that society depends on the number of children in a particular society, on the conditions under which the processes of their socialization and personality formation take place.
D. as a social phenomenon determines the status of the child as an active figure and participant in social processes, having his own. a view of the world, a special language and style of thinking that affirms his personal position, full of rights with the world of adults. Modern the idea of a child’s ability for self-determination in life led to a rethinking of the stereotypical idea of children as “inferior” people, deprived of the right to participate in resolving issues of their present and future life, health, and everyday well-being. Historically, the concept of “D.” is associated with a certain social status of children, with the range of their rights and responsibilities, with a set of types and forms of activity available to them. The social status of children has developed historically and is directly dependent on the level of material and spiritual culture of society; it is regulated by social norms and regulations, which historically acquire the force of a legal law that establishes the rules of relations towards children on the part of each member of society, social groups, the state and society as a whole (for legal aspects, see Art. Children).
Sociological D.'s research is presented in two directions: as a specific cultural and historical. values and as part of the social structure. Within the first, cultural-anthropological. approach, the evolution of D. is studied (M. Mead, L. Demoz), its connection with the value-semantic sphere of society is shown (F. Aries), crisis periods in a person’s life associated with his transition to adult members of society through initiation are highlighted (F. Boas, B.K. Malinovsky). It has been established that attention and care for children are largely related to demographic characteristics. situation: in conditions of high birth rate and high infant mortality, the life of a child is relative. value. In a situation of declining birth rates, the value of children also increases, for whose lives adults begin to fight, while simultaneously taking on social responsibility for their existence. Along with concern for the life and health of the child, the need for a close, trusting connection with children is formed, who gradually begin to be perceived as full-fledged family members in personal terms, who have the right to defend their own. interests. The idea of the distance separating the world of adults and children is also being transformed; together they form a dialogical union based on mutual recognition, respect for each other and love. The consequence of the value-semantic change in attitude towards children is the expansion of their social status, the recognition of certain rights and freedoms for them.
D. occurs, as a rule, in one of three cultural forms. The post-figurative form of D. suggests that children learn Ch. arr. in the elders; cofigurative – that both children and adults learn primarily from equals, peers; prefigurative – that adults also learn from their children (M. Mead). Each form of culture corresponds to a special status for children: they are not recognized as members of society; are recognized as dependent, subordinate members of society; have a “deferred” status, they are only future members of society; children - students, pupils; children are developing individuals; children are equal members of society (S. N. Shcheglova).
Within the framework of the second direction of research, an explanation of the phenomenon of D. as an important part of the social structure of society, included in the system of social relations participating in organizations. types of activities and interacting with the adult community, is based on the recognition of the institutional activity of children, their ability to form their own children's subculture of communication and behavior through imitation and imitation of adults. Relates. the independence of the children's subculture characterizes it as a kind of autonomous reality that has its own. language, structure, functions, traditions, in which several are distinguished. fundam. elements: game; folklore and art creation; communication and communicative behavior. The formation and development of a children's subculture is influenced by several factors: the influence of the “adult culture” of parents and educators; the child’s personal efforts, manifested in various types of his intellectual and creative activity; the influence of an already existing children's subculture, the traditions of which are passed on from generation to generation of children (M. V. Osorina).
D. is also considered in terms of the relationship between reproductive and creative mechanisms of socialization, which are inextricably linked with changes in socio-economics. structures and forms of societies. activities of people. As culture becomes more complex and enriched, the volume of knowledge, skills and abilities transmitted from generation to generation increases, and the forms of their transmission are differentiated and specialized. At the same time, creativity and imitation in all their forms are indispensable attributes of the younger generation’s adaptation to the constantly changing sociocultural conditions of life. A feature of socialization in such conditions is the contradiction between the growing autonomy of the child and the strengthening of adult control over children’s practices, increased attention to the child, and excessive guardianship of children.
Social problems of D. in Russia are studied within the framework of the sociology of family, education, youth, etc. Particular attention is paid to the most pressing problems: orphanhood, homelessness, crime, prostitution, drug addiction and other forms of antisocial behavior of the younger generation.
Reasoning 3
How often do adults say the phrase: “It’s so good to be little!” Why do these words sound?
Childhood flies by at lightning speed, but every person goes through this stage of life. Childhood is the “time of FIRTS”: the first word, the first step, the first smile, the first tooth, the first bruise, the first holiday... This list can be continued endlessly.
Childhood is a unique country where a new day is different from the previous one, where every moment is a search for something new and interesting, where every resident is a builder of the future. In this country there are almost no words “not” and “must”.
Childhood is a time of carefree games and fantasies, faith in magic and the boundless kindness of others, a time of joy and all-consuming love. Only now you can sleep as much as you want, go for walks without fail, eat only what you love. And there are so many toys and friends around, and every bug seems the best, and every stray cat is the cutest. Only now it’s easy to hide from any problems and fears - you just need to close your eyes or bury your face in the hem of your mother’s dress.
At the same time, childhood is the main stage of a person’s life. It is at this time that all the physical, mental, and most importantly, moral foundations of the future personality are laid. A child does not know how to deceive, cannot hate, and is not familiar with the feeling of doom. All the spontaneity of the child is destroyed by adults: every shout, comparison, deception is like a surging wave that grinds away a stone on the seashore. Many moments that seem ordinary to an adult remain forever in the memory of a child. If childhood was spent in cruelty, then the grown-up child will give only cruelty to his child. If childhood was surrounded by lies, then it will become the norm in the next stages of life. If parental education consisted of shouting or beating, then this will become a model for the subsequent educational system for the future parent. Only care and parental love make childhood a world of happy memories.
A person may not live to old age; Having grown up quickly, many deprive themselves of their youth, and only the childhood stage is lived by everyone, it is impossible to miss it. So let's protect and protect this huge region - where everyone comes from!
Discussion about human childhood
What is childhood? These are the sweet moments of the time when we were children or moments that we like to forget and not talk about because they harm our hearts and feelings. For some people, childhood is the best thing in their life, and for others it is the worst. When we are children, we understand what is bad and what is good, and when we grow up, we try to apply what we have learned from childhood, but a new lesson comes - it is difficult to understand how and with whom to apply it.
People who had a fun and carefree childhood are happy to tell their children, grandchildren, adventures, carelessness that they encountered in childhood. My childhood, like most children, was wonderful. My peers and I lived in another world where fun and games reigned. A fictional world of magic where everything is possible. At that time we did not realize what a fragile and cruel world we live in.
Now that we are bigger, we understand how happy we were. Then we wanted to go to school, but we didn’t know what responsibility it was. How we want to return to kindergarten and continue to play carefree. The fact is that childhood cannot do without the usual confrontation with someone, but then we fought only for a doll or toy. This was our childhood, we were the happiest children - with the most caring parents, brothers and sisters. When we wanted something, we got it, they gave it to us. Now, if we want something, we must earn it, because we are big and can prove ourselves.
Childhood! This is a wonderful moment in our lives! Everyone wants to be a child, a carefree and loving being. Unfortunately, this cannot be the case, because every person has a ladder to climb, and childhood is only at the very beginning.
Childhood is the period in which we build ourselves as people, as individuals. This prepares us for real life. During this period of life, it is better if a person is given and given attention, tenderness, love, warmth, then he understands the value of all existence. Every parent should educate their child so that he can grow as a human being - more tolerant and reasonable in life.
My childhood... it's good that it exists to warm me on cold days, to throw me into joyful memories. Dear memories of the days that I will keep in my heart. The amazing world, which is so close, but at the same time remains so far away, is no longer accessible now, remains a magical country, a trip to which is so pleasant to remember.

Essay on the topic childhood is a wonderful time of life
Childhood is the most wonderful time in every person’s life. But not only because you don’t have to solve many “adult” problems, earn money, think about how to live and what to do, decide on your future profession and find your way through life. There are many reasons why childhood is considered the most beautiful time due to the endless minutes devoted to daydreaming. In childhood, everything looks simpler and more fabulous. It seems that even flying into space and becoming an astronaut is not so difficult. To do this, just build a spaceship from pillows and blankets, and you can go on a journey through the vast expanses of space. The main thing is to take your imagination with you. So you can meet Martians! As a child, you can dream about whatever you want. From a carriage of sweets to a hot air balloon flight. At this time, you still do not suspect that not all of your dreams are destined to come true. More precisely, only a few selected dreams that you believe in with all your heart and are ready to make every possible effort to realize them will come true in the future, when you become an adult. Childhood is actually a time of dreams. It’s impossible to imagine how many innermost secrets and desires our children’s toys remember. Our entire little life called “childhood” contains hopes for the fulfillment of what we dreamed of. The world of dreams and fantasies gives an incredible amount of positive emotions. Only in childhood are dreams so light, airy and kind that it seems that just a little more and they will certainly fly out of your head in the form of a light cloud and will immediately come true. There is one unique feature in childhood that for some reason disappears with age - this is the sincere belief that everything is possible and any of your dreams will certainly come true. As a child, your friends’ dreams don’t seem funny to you; like them, you sincerely believe that everything is possible in this world! Option 2 The world of childhood is a magical world in which a child can play with dolls, cars, and a ball. And although childhood flies by very quickly, it is still very interesting, bright and cheerful. This is an unforgettable time, a time of dreams, sincere joy and growing up of a person. We must not forget childhood and must cherish it in our hearts, and then it will not forget us. Childhood is carefree, fun, and joy for every person. Remembering our childhood, we can never say that it was bad for us or that we were bored. These are always good, kind and happy memories of our life. We grow, learn about life, and begin to realize reality at this age. That is why people start going to school at the age of 6-8 years. We better remember the alphabet, multiplication tables, language rules and other useful information. And children who come to school for the first time still feel like children. They bring toys, dolls and cars with them to classes, and do not realize that this is already, albeit a small one, a step towards the beginning of adult life. Childhood is freedom, when there are no responsibilities, problems or worries. Many adults often say: “It’s so good to be little! You can sleep as much as you want, you can wake up, go to the window and watch how people rush about their business, listen to the noise of the city outside the window. All day long you can play different games: hide and seek - and hide anywhere, catch - run away, for example, from your grandmother. Then you can walk in the fresh air, bask in the sun, lie on the grass and enjoy freedom. But these are just dreams, you will never get your childhood back! "Every child has a family. Family is a protector. No matter what happens to a child in childhood, no matter who offends him, only in the family will there be understanding, support and protection. This is probably why life is so easy and carefree in childhood, because parents and family are always on guard. Many different events happen in childhood, and if over time you forget what happened to you in childhood, then mom or dad will always tell you about it. As a child, every holiday makes us happy. Childhood always reminds us of delicious cakes, fun and gifts. A birthday is the day when we become a year older. We are waiting for him and rejoicing in him. Parents congratulate, hugging and kissing, friends come and give gifts. All the kids love it! I believe that the world of childhood is a wonderful period in the life of every person. It goes differently for everyone, but I haven’t heard a single person say that her childhood was bad. After all, in the life of every person in childhood there are some bright, unforgettable moments. After all, childhood is great! There are also unforgettable events in our childhood. This could be any trip, travel and much more. When we talk about this, of course, we rejoice and smile, remembering where we have been. Since childhood, we forever remember such happy moments and interesting travels. Childhood flies by very quickly for everyone, including me. There were many happy moments in my childhood. These are amazing memories from childhood. So, maybe as a child you are under the good supervision of your parents, and this only improves your life. Your parents love you, take care of you and will never hurt you. I think that as a child you live as if in a magical land, in which everything shimmers with different colors and colors, everything sparkles with happiness. Despite the fact that children gradually grow up, the magical land of childhood accompanies a person all his life. Children become older and smarter over the years, but still they will never forget this magical country - their first school of life, their little world. Many adults want to go back in time, to be children at least for a few moments, to feel small, capricious and fragile. And some are still children at heart all their lives. But still, a real carefree and loving childhood, alas, can never be returned. Childhood is not forever, it still ends someday, and is replaced by adult independent life. And how great it is that our memories contain warm memories of childhood, of this wonderful, beautiful time when you can endlessly play, have fun, and be surprised. But childhood is not only joyful moments; in childhood there are disappointments and insults, sorrows and sums. But they pass so quickly that it seems that childhood consists only of light, bright colors, flowers and happiness! But, no matter how much we would like it, childhood passes unnoticed, disappears, and there is no way to stop it. We all grow up... But we should never forget it, we must remember it with joyful feelings, because these are the first steps into our today, almost adult, life, our first ideas, thoughts and desires. Take care of your childhood in your heart, and it will always warm you with a happy thought about it.
