What makes children happy? What made you happy when you were younger? Do you have fond memories of sometime when you were a kid? Did your parents bring you somewhere that you will always remember? Was there one day that really stands out in your mind as being one of the best days of your life? I'd love to hear from you and for you to share your childhood memories! Dream away ........

Good question Ben! I grew up before video games and the internet were even a dream or thought. In my day there was street hockey, football and baseball for the boys and some of the girls and skipping rope, hopscotch and elastics for girls. We were outside for most of the day until our moms called us in for supper and then we played outside some more until it got dark. We had happy times playing I think, we got our exersise and fresh air and I think we were happier kids generally speaking as compared to kids in general today. I think that the simplest games/times made the best memories and I think kids today are missing that to a certain extent.

My mother has told me so many times of when they used to play out in the fields and have great fun using their imagination. It is a lovely time. but now today people have to be so careful with their kids. I want my kids to keep their innocence for as long as they can. I want them to have no worries, but thats really hard.
