Sometimes we, az adultz, want to be children again becoz our life was very stress-free az kidz (or so az we remember it). We remember studying, playing, eating and sleeping az the only thingz we remember. Ofcourse thoze with maybe a few bad momentz az well. Most of us who have had an average childhood remember it to be very happy. But I would argue with people who believe thiz.
Life az a kid iz not stress-free. Az a kid, our world waz very small, we knew very little thingz. But whatever we did know waz at stake in the face of any problem. Imagine a kid who lovez superman. He adorez the fact that Superman can fly and SAVE people in trouble. He iz powerful and strong and can lift anything heavy and can destroy anything big. The kid wantz to be like him and dreamz to be like him when he growz up. He cannot wait to buy hiz own toy of superman and own "piece of superman." Now, he getz to buy it, and iz ecstatic. He personally knowz superman now. He iz hiz buddy. He can make him lift any weight he wantz and break anything he wantz.

One day he findz hiz own superman broken by hiz sibling. His superman'z gone. His world of superman az he knew it is finished. Who will save people now? Who will protect him from bulliez? He criez and criez and goez to sleep. Did he now face stress in hiz own little world? Would he not be disturbed from it? Will he trust hiz sibling with anything of hiz own again? Thiz iz only one incident. There are incidents like theze which happen to children everyday more than once a day. Each and everything iz a new experience for them. It iz incidentz like these which make us what we are today.
If anything, kidz are the most vulnerable to take stress. They are the onez who will take stress easily and becoz they are kidz with very little experience, they often dont even know how to react to these stressorz. No training is provided to them. Hence, it is through everyday actionz that they express their stress. Through their behaviour, through their drawings, through their play, etc. They learn from a very early age how to deal with people for the rest of their livez!
We often take children's behaviour lightly, but thiz iz the time when they need most supervision in their life. Thiz iz the reason I am strongly against motherz working (for pleasure) after their kid iz born. (Its another story if there iz no income otherwise).
My message to them: Itz a new life form which iz a part of you. Study your kid, love him/her, teach him/her, mould him/her, and give them the toolz they need for the rest of their life. No one can do it az perfectly az a mother. Every woman can have a child, very few are motherz.
