Don't children dream?

Abstract

Once while sitting at a table I heard a child ask an adult:

 

- Child: Hey, what did you dream of being when you were a child?

 And the adult replied,

- Adult: Nothing, because children don't dream, when you grow up you just have to work.

Those cold words made me reflect on how important childhood is for all people, since it is one of the fundamental stages (together with adolescence) for the biological and psychosocial development of the human being, which will be the basis for the development and potential of our society. It is a stage that is characterized among many things by innocence, imagination and curiosity, where we have minds full of the desire to explore, know and understand everything around us, in order to quench that thirst for knowledge, which helps us to understand and build our world.
