         As a child, you are still a young human being below the age of puberty or below the legal age of majority, so you are not yet mature sensibly, and there are some happy events, silly events, funny events, weird and bad events that will happen as a child.    Childhood experiences are the events, interactions, and environments that children encounter during their first few years of life which can have lasting impacts on their development. You can never forget some of your childhood memories, the unforgettable ones are the ones that are memorable, historic, illustrious, exception. All these might be a happy or sad moments of your life as well. It  play a significant role in shaping our personalities, behaviors, and even our physical health in adulthood. 

             These memories act as a kind of emotional compass, guiding our reactions, beliefs, and perspectives. As I said above that the events that happens in your life as a child may be good or bad events, the good ones are called the positive childhood experience, Examples of a positive childhood experiences are; having one good friend, enjoy participating in community traditions, feeling of belonging in high school, learning to ride a bike etc. When you have a good and positive childhood experience you will be able to talk with your family about feelings, feel experience that your family is supportive in difficult times, having at least two non-parent adults who genuinely care. The bad ones are called the negative childhood experience. Examples of negative childhood experiences are; parent separation or divorce, physical and substance abuse, domestic violence neglect, incarcerated household member, mental illness in the household, sexual and verbal abuse, living with someone who abused alcohol etc. 

             As an adult, you determine what childhood experience a child gets. You have to control what you say, do, and how you act when you are with a child that is you have give the child a good memory of you, and the child must be able to know your good and well behaved attitude, not your bad attitude. All these experiences determines the child future.
