 "I wanna see Christmas through your eyes,
I want everything to be the way it used to be,
Back to being a child again, thinking the world was mine,
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes."


There is beauty in a child's perspective /innocence - as explained in this article:
https://hubpages.com/family/The-beauty-of-a-childs-innocence

We grow up and we discover the world can be a cold, dark, evil place. We lose a lot of the innocence. We are also expected to behave as mature adults (be responsible, make/handle difficult decisions, and so on). Many adults would like to experience some "childhood wonder and dreaming" from time to time.

A struggle for some parents is how much information/knowledge to pass on to a very young child. Woulld they lose their innocence too early? This article discusses the struggle: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationopinion/11384246/Too-much-information-destroys-childhood-innocence.html

"We need to teach the next generation of children from Day One that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear."
- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

"If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders."
- Abigail Van Buren

"I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good."
- Oprah Winfrey

"You are not responsible for the programming you picked up in childhood. However, as an adult, you are one hundred percent responsible for fixing it."
- Ken Keyes, Jr.
