Memories of children

These days we are working on some activities around the memories of the children, in their families and in their community.

I have always believed that as living conditions change, our interests also change and, of course, the importance we give to each memory also changes.

Before I asked the children what their most important memory is and why, I thought they might talk about their modern toys, the computer or tablet that someone bought them, the promotion party last year ... but they didn't.

Fortunately, almost all the children answered that their best memory was a trip to the country, a trip to the beach, a visit to their grandparents who live in the country, one day when they went swimming in a pool, when first got to know such and such a river or place. And there was no shortage of options for who has the best memory of their pet. In other words, their best memories revolve around nature, grandparents, the appreciation of certain people, places that are beautiful for them or animals as well.

I just hope that when these children grow up they will not trade the value of these memories for memories of cold, lifeless objects with temporary utility and high cost. May their best memories always revolve around life.
