THE BEAUTY OF CHILDREN
I was walking home one day from school and I saw a group of kids (probably within the ages of 6-10 years of age) playing football, standing close to the playground was a man surely in his early 40s cheering on, I immediately thought he is a football fanatic like myself who loves to watch the round leather game no matter where it's being played. As I drew close and stood with him, I got to know his son was playing football with the other kids, and occasionally the son would turn to his dad and they would exchange smiles, nothing could be compared to the visible joy of both father and son, as it was greatly expressed on their faces, another striking thing I observed was that the kid who had his father cheering on from the sidelines did better than the other kids, he was a yard quicker and faster than other kids. I quickly made a resolve in my heart that it was because he had extra motivation from his dad cheering on 
On another occasion I went to see an aunty, while there my aunt's little daughter (about 6 years old) brought her assignment from school and asked me to help her with it, I actually did it for her and then told her do you know you could actually do this on your own? She replied and said '' I can't do it on my own because mummy said I can never do it on my own that I have to bring to someone to help me with,how wrong my aunty was 
With this two contrasting stories, you can understand that children are very delicate, they are like water they take the shape of whatever container they put into. If you make them believe they are no good,bad or useless they will be just like that, but if you make them believe they are good and that there is no limit to what they can achieve, thev will become great successes.
The Bible tells us that Jesus demonstrated the need to give children attention in >Luke 18:15-16>quote And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God>quote.
we are Christians and ought to be christ like. If we show children love, care and affection, they will grow thus with love care and affection in their hearts for the society, but if they are brought up in areas of strife, neglect and wickedness, they will as well grow thus because the Bible says in >proverbs 22:6>quote Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it>quote.and in >Galatians 6:7>quote Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap>quote.
Im grateful we have someone who has taken it upon himself to help and encourage infants on steemit 
So when next you see a kid, smile at them, accommodate them, encourage them and make them believe there is still good in this world and they will grow thus, that is the beauty of children, by so doing countries won't have to spend colossal amounts on war and security anymore because the world will be a better place, children are the leaders of tomorrow
Peace.
