 Childhood is supposed to be the happiest time of our lives - a time of innocence and tranquillity, filled with endless summers, birthday parties, toys, games and most of all, fun. As adults, most of us look back fondly on our childhoods and reminisce nostalgically on our youth. But the reality is that nowadays, children are often under more pressure than ever before, in some cases carrying heavier burdens than those shouldered by their professional parents. While those close to retirement look down on youngsters with a sneer, complaining continuously about the ease of the modern GCSE exam compared with their own experience, the fact is that constant testing adds to the pressure on children. Similarly, despite the fact that we envy our children for their seemingly natural familiarity with technological devices, in private they are under constant pressure to update social media profiles, deal with cyberbullies and avoid being hacked. Some might say this is simply a sign of the times, a symptom of living in the modern world, but with levels of depression and poor mental health among children as young as six, I would beg to differ. Many children cite low self-esteem and lack of confidence as key causes of unhappiness, according to a recent report. Despite the access to gadgets, freely available online information and media aimed squarely at their demographic group, it seems children may, in fact, envy us for the relationships we were able to build at home and at school. The fact that we look back at our formative years so fondly, may be due to the safety we felt in our environment, back when parents were not overprotective and dangers didn't lurk in every shadow. Even the rules and regulations of school seem to put too much emphasis on academic achievement and not enough on developing social relationships. It is in this area that we should focus our attention.
