Kids should be Kids?
Its always best to “be here now’ Its the only time you can be a kid so do it.
Kid FOREVER!
We are adults for such a long time, please allow everyone as much time as possible to be young, childish, free!
To Be kids or Not to Be kids
Kids should be kids as long as they can. It’s no fun growing up so hold onto that youthful, child-like innocence as long as you can.

It should be alittle of both: kids should have time to just ‘play’ but they need to know that there are other kids and people less fortunate, and that there are adults NOT to be trusted. One can help others and still remain childlike.
Parents have to be
Parents have to be supportive of their kids ambitions, not feed them goals they’re not interested in.

Both. If ‘strive to grow up’ means make a difference or help others less fortunate, that’s great. If grow up means just boobs and sex, that’s aproblem!
Kids Should Stay Kids!
Children should enjoy the wonderful, innocent, fun-packed childhood years—to the full! There’s plenty of time to be adults, the rest of their lives in fact! Childhood is a very special, all too brief period and is to be savored!
Kids should be kids
Kids should not “constantly” be striving to grow up. There needs to be a balance. Kids should learn respect, independence, cooperation, and the value of hard work in addition to the importance of playing and life-long learning.
The Hedgehog Passes
Kids should just be kids…time goes by so quickly as it is, they should have some time to be a little carefree and have some fun…
