During your childhood you get to explore yourself and collect dreams of your future, you're able to develop yourself with the lessons you learn at a young age, such as how to not be selfish or rude to others or how to help others if necessary, or what to do when you are stuck in an unfamiliar or difficult situation. How someone's character develops in their childhood years leads up to how they are during adulthood.
