Blog Assignment #1: Childhood Memories

I would like to see that the children would take care of each other as well as the nature. The topic today is the environmental situation we have. I hope they are more educated about the situation that is going on. We have heard about the effects created to nature, but just now we start to realize that we have to do something. This should have been done for ten or twenty years ago.

I hope the children will play more outdoors. Not just, as we have read, sit in front of a computer or a TV all day. It would be great if they come up with their own activities outside.
I’m not saying this is not the case now- that no one can play outside, but I’ve seen many kids become apathetic as soon as they go for a break. I have many times tried to start up a game to make them play. I blame it on all the new computer games and similar things. They are not used to play outside. Sadly.

I have to say, I thought my mind would change when I became a parent.
Now, I see that it hasn’t. At least, not so much. I still believe in the same moral values.
The most important thing for a child is to feel loved. Security is the next. A child who grows up with these two things will achieve so much more in life. The child hopefully becomes a confident and secure person and can pass this on to others.

Our responsibility as adults is to make sure they know as much as they can about all the fun and beautiful in life. That is quite a lot; hopefully we can show them at least some of it.

  1. Hello Sofie,

    My name is Eva-Lena and I am supposed to make a comment on your blog #1.

    When I read your text I agree with you when it comes to children and love. They do need love...who doesn't? :O)

    I think you could use more linking words at the beginning of your paragraphs. And maybe if you want to share with us about your memories from your childhood. That would be interesting I think.

    Otherwise I think you keep the themes in you paragraphs, so keep up the good work girl :O)

  2. Hello Sofie,
    You have written an interesting blog in which you discuss important issues for children of today. I agree with you that children need more outdoor activities and less computer games, but also that the most important thing for a child is to feel loved. The conclusion is also true, and it is a good ending of your blog.
    The only thing I think you might improve a little bit is that some sentences could be linked together, especially in the first two paragraphs. Otherwise I believe you have done a very good job!!
    Have a nice weekend!
