A little girl is playing in a field of tulips. She’s innocent. She’s if free to explore the world around her and to discover who she is. She is carefree and has nothing to worry about, except enjoying this moment in life.
Childhood is the foundation upon which our future selves are built. It is a time of exploration and discovery, a time when we are first introduced to the world and all it has to offer. It is a time of innocence, a time when we are free to be ourselves. And it is a time of great potential, a time when we have the opportunity to learn and grow into the people we are meant to be.
However, many children around the world are forced to grow up too quickly, often due to poverty or conflict. In these situations, children are often forced to take on responsibilities that they are not ready for, such as caring for younger siblings or working to support their families.
We must help the world learn to give children freedom and safety to grow.
