When kids are born they have to learn everything. They have to learn the language, how their bodies work, and how to interact with everyone and everything around them. They are helpless and dependent for years. Virtually every animal on the planet can walk and feed itself almost immediately - but not people. We have a complex growth process.

Childhood is the foundation for adulthood. Learning to understand the difference between what's really important when building a foundation versus what may seem good, but really has no substance is significant. It's the difference between someone leaving childhood insecure, dependent and fearful, or strong, centered and mature.
