Are childhood years most important in one`s life?

Every person possesses his own childhood, which leaves the deepest impression in his mind, either happy or sad. Therefore, I think a person`s childhood years are the most important years of a person`s life.  

Firstly, a person`s character is mainly developed in his childhood. Living in a harmonious family and encouraged to show what he wants, this kind of person is prone to an open-minded adult while those who are strictly restrained often keep silent when they grow up. It is a common saying in China that a person`s character in his adulthood can be seen even when he is three or five years old. Deng Yaping, the famous table tennis player, once showed her thanks to her parents and said, ?It is the happy childhood given by my parents which makes me confident.

Secondly, a person`s potential IQ comes into being when he is very young. It is reported that those who are enlightened in childhood are much more clever. Maybe that is the reason why so many will-be mothers give music to their babies yet to be born.  

What is more, whether a person is healthy or not also has an important relation to his childhood. Therefore, quite a number of diseases should be treated as early as possible. Meanwhile, during the process of growing up, a large amount of nourishes should be given to the children to make them keep fit.  

Like the foundation of a building, childhood is the first stage in one`s life and thus is of great importance and needs to be appreciated carefully.
