Energy

Children have an inexhaustible amount of energy. That is one of the defined differences between children and adults. We get tuckered out, they don't. Mine could play baseball in the backyard 24/7 if I let them. They talk with energy, play with energy, eat with energy.

When writing for and about children, that is one thing that I think needs to be remembered. They never stop thinking, never stop being curious, never stop wanting to do more, know more. Yeah, it's hard to keep them busy enough sometimes as they get bored so fast but when taking a moment to step back and remember, weren't we all just the same? It's one thing I love about being a mother, everything is seen with new eyes and a new energy making me remember that the world really is an exciting place whether a new land or just a new little corner of your own barnyard.
