Some Difference Between A Child And An Adult And Their Implications

A child is a unique and peculiar phase of human nature. It's a phase that has its peculiarities and as such, it comes with its character and attitude. Being a child is a blessing but not without certain aspects of challenges.

Being a child is not in the number of years lived. Being a child is a phase. Some of us stay in that phase all our lives. Meanwhile, some of us leave that phase even before the law declares us adults.

Here, we will be looking at some major differences between a child and an adult and the implications that come with the differences. The differences we will be is not about age but about a phase revealed by behaviour.

1. When a child is hungry, the child would cry and most times, it's the caregiver that would have to figure out that it is hungry that's making the child cry.

Adults shouldn't cry when they are hungry. Any adult who cries when hungry is not termed an adult. Such a person can be best referred to as a child.

2. When the caregiver figures that the child is hungry and the caregiver made food, the caregiver will most of the time force the child to eat before the child would eat. Most times, the caregiver would beat the child for the child to eat.

An adult shouldn't be forced to eat food. Any adult that requires force or persuasion or cajoling or petting to eat food shouldn't be termed as an adult. Such a person can also be best referred to as a child.

3. Most of the time, children eat because it's sweet.

An adult should eat because it's beneficial to the body. It doesn't matter whether it's bitter or not, as long as the body needs it, it should be taken without pressure. Any adult that still eats because it's sweet and hardly eats because it's bitter even when it's beneficial to the body, shouldn't be termed as an adult and such a person should be referred to as a child.

4. The Bible in 1 Corinthians 13:11 says, When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became of age, I put away childish things.

This depicts that, a child speaks before seeking to understand and before thinking.

An adult, on the other hand, Thinks, Understands before Speaking. Anyone who is said to speak without thought can be termed to be a child.

5. Children are these set of humans who requires a pet or who requires to be persuaded or who requires cajoling and also promises before they can get something done.

An adult knows what should be done and how important to do what should be done and also the right time to do it and they just get done whatever that's to be done without the extra drama.

6. Children are naturally dramatic. The more mature we get, the lesser the drama we display. This must be the reason why they say "it's not that we get more patient as we grow older, we just become tired of the unnecessary and pointless drama.

Anyone who still likes drama is still a child, it doesn't matter how old we are.

7. A child mostly knows only how to scatter things abroad. They hardly know how to arrange things in order. In their minds, they may feel they are arranging but in the real sense, they are only scattering.

An adult, on the other hand, is someone who had designated every item to its place and so, they keep things orderly for the most part. Any person who scatters things is still a child, it doesn't matter how old the person is. If any of your relationships that you still want, matter, as a result of you being the direct course, you are not there yet.

8. Everything for a child is an item of play, this is why they are hardly given something of worth.

An adult knows the importance of things and value and respect everything they have. Any person who plays with important things is still a child, sad, but it's true. Even the Bible in Matthew 7:6, NIV: says "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."

Do you joke about everything or do you still joke about everything? Are you someone who always says, I was only joking? It was just a joke or it's just Cruise. The truth is, only children joke like that, not adults. And if you still joke like that with important things, expect to have a child's reward.

When it was time for Jacob to die and he called his sons to admonish them, some people say, he caused some and he blessed some. The truth is, he only admonished them. He told them what their future will be like as a result of the kind of life he saw them live. Look at what he said to his first son in Genesis 49:3,4.

He said, (3) Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: (4) Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.

When we behave like children, we should expect people to treat us like children. People hardly take children seriously, that is because I don't want to outrightly say people don't take children seriously.

Woman - Poem

By Costly Oma . 1. Unaware, she seems, Fragile, yet able. Tender, she appears. Weak, yet strong. 2. Subtle with wit. Accommodating with guard. Loose with focus. Loving with vision. 3. Characterized by beauty. Categorized as an angel. Graced with curves, And strides with style. 4. Builder like a bird. Keeper like a hen. Lover like a dolphin. Carrier like a whale. 5. Protector like an eagle. Giver like a hose. Fighter like animal. Server like a servant. 6. Product like honey. Fierce, yet gentle. Comforts like a home. This is a woman.

NYSC SCHEME - Poem

By Costly Oma . Written In 2013. First Published: Feb. 2014. 1. An idea was birthed, And into action, it sprung. Since from Nineteen Seventy-Three, Youths have been shuffled. 2. With a call, we moved A call to serve, our best to render, A call to give, our best to offer. A call to keep one Nigeria 3. Under the sun, we matched. In the rain, no difference. When it’s bright and clear, And otherwise, we answer. 4. A call like no other, Beginning with a journey, Then living three weeks in exclusion, Learning new things in new style. 5. A call so anticipated, Becomes so tiring with time, Then feels it should be extended but boring, Yet memories linger. 6. With the hope of National unity, It was birthed. I hope that its cause has not been tilted, For sacrifices have been made. 7. NYSC SCHEME, We hope that your aim we achieve, For your call we heard, And your rules we kept. #nyscpoem #nyscschemepoem #scheme #nysc #poems #nationalyouthservice #nationalyouthserviceco...

Time - Poem

TIME Speaking!!! 1. Trust me, I’m in your beginning, In-between. And in your end. 2. I’m a part you can’t do without. An entity of immeasurable worth. A unit of the highest value. A mystery in essence. 3. Your future, I determine Your goals, I monitor Your achievements All, wrapped up in me. 4. I’m terrible. I’m hostile. I’m always against you. But I am a friend. 5.

Father - Poem

By Costly Oma . 1. A Father. A role you are given. A role you didn't ask for, Yet you accepted, And have learned to understand. 2. A Father. Like a purpose, You stay loyal to it's aim. Like a vision, You stay married to it's picture. 3. A Father. Characterized by strength, Categorized by direction. Geared to provide. Wired to protect. 4. A Father. You carry a burden, Burden unknown to your wife, Burden unknown to your children, Burden unknown to your family. 5. The strength of the home. The defense of the family. You cry sometime, Oh, yes you do, But not in the open. 6. Children misconcepts you, Misconcepts your nature, Nature of care and provision, And ascribes everything to their mothers. Lost are we without a father. 7. I love you dad, I don't misconcept you, Thank you for your seamless, Seamless care and provision. My Father. #costly #oma #costlyoma #costlyomapoems #costlyomablog #father #fatherpoem #poemaboutfather #poemaboutafather

The Reason

By Costly Oma . 1. Solace, I find in poetry. In poetry, relief, I find. Not without the pain. But the pain, it soothes. 2. In my darkest days, And in my darkest hours, A line of poetry, in my heart, The difference, make. 3. When I find myself lost, In all that I cannot explain, The courage to press, A poetry gives. 4. My first love, I cannot tell. The present, past, and future. I choose the now, For the morrow, I know not. 5. When the bridge is out, And the living, being choked away, But saddled with poetry, To hold and hold I may. 6. From the lines of Ann Taylor's My Mother. To the ancient scripts of Dangerous Beauty, I grief still, But a lift, in poetry I find. Happy World Poetry Day.

My Death-Feelings So Far – Part 1

By Costly Oma . My Death Encounter Part - 1. ~~My Body Leaving My Body~~ Sometime in the first quarter of the year 2018, around 4 AM in the morning, while I was still in bed, I was woken up by a strong presence of what I can call death. I felt this chilled cold sweep past me, from the soul of my feet to the crown of my head. It was so dramatic as I feel like the cold was swallowing me, starting from the soul of my feet to the crown of my head. As I got completely engulfed by the cold, I woke up. I woke up and got down from the bed but I was still seeing myself lying on the bed. I stood up but it felt like I wasn’t the one standing as I was seeing another me lying in bed. I was obviously at this point confused as to what was happening as I am both standing and lying down at the same time. As I was yet to get my mind organised as to what was happening, I saw a thick dark cloud forming at the westside wall of the room. This thick dark cloud looks so dirty and it smells so bad. As this cl...

My Life Experiences And Quotes

By Costly Oma . Life has a way of Teaching, Taming and training humans. All of these life's teachings could be termed as Life's Experiences and everyone has had a measure of them. No two individuals have the same sets of life experiences in their entirety since no two people have been known to have been subjected to the same sets of living in all ramifications since our life's experiences are how we live based. I've got some of my life experiences compiled. I hope they give you something to think about as you go through them one after the other. In the cause of life, I've come to learn the following: My father would always say; Make sure you know all there is to know. If you want something done well, do it yourself. He that rests, rusts. Education without morality is like tea without sugar. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. People generally, hardly mean what they say but women are more so. And he warns; be extremely careful on how you execute women's de...

Be Inspired - Story Of An Elephant and a Dog

An elephant and a dog became pregnant at the same time. Three months down the line the dog gave birth to six puppies. Six months later the dog was pregnant again, and nine months on it gave birth to another dozen puppies. The pattern continued. On the eighteenth month, the dog approached the elephant questioning, "Are you sure that you are pregnant? We became pregnant on the same date, I have given birth three times to a dozen puppies and they are now grown to become big dogs, yet you are still pregnant. What's going on?" The elephant replied, "There is something I want you to understand. What I am carrying is not a puppy but an elephant. I only give birth to one in two years. When my baby hits the ground, the earth feels it. When my baby crosses the road, human beings stop and watch in admiration, what I carry draws attention. So what I'm carrying is mighty and great." Don't lose faith when you see others receive answers to their prayers. Don't be e...

There Are No Ordinary Words.

60% of all human communication is Nonverbal, meaning body language. 30% comes from the Tone in our voice. This means that what is really coming out of our mouths is just 10%. By Costly Oma . Our Words are like Bullets So To Say In a world where everyone has something to say and we are all saying one thing or the other, it is pertinent that we all learn and know or become aware of how to choose our words carefully and the tone in our voice correctly anytime we are engaging in a conversation knowing that for the message to be communicated accurately, there must be sound, and tones make up sounds and sounds come in words in conversation. Here is something I call the right choice of words. When the tone is right, the sound is right and when words are carefully chosen, communication is excellent. Don’t you want to get to that point? For me, I always want to be there. In this article, we will be learning the importance of choosing our words and the tone of our voice correctly whe...
