Childhood is a special time when every day is a chance to learn and have fun. Kids play games, make friends, and start going to school. They use their imagination to turn boxes into castles and the playground into a jungle. It’s when they are very curious, asking lots of questions about everything. This time is important because it helps them grow up and get ready for later life.
