with age does the love of a child grow or diminish?
is the love of a little child the purest form of love?

It is your 5 year old child 'cuz when she is 35 she loves you a bit less 'cuzshe starts loving her husband & family or her boy friend a bit more than you

The 5 yr old child will need you more but when that child turns 35, the love will be the same.

If my upbringing of the child is good then definitely the 35 because my upbringing will cultivate her the love her parents due to the attachement she develops over years. No doubt, to me, I love my 5 year child than the 35 one.

it depends on how much love she gets from you...
children are like a mirror...they will just show what u shw to them..
but a 35 old will know many things and if u want the same amount of love, u should be showing entire care and love on her...
Which is practically impossible in most cases...

if a child loves you when she was 5 she will love you as the same at 35 and forever, love never decreases.

I don't think that kind of love- between parent and child- changes in that sense. Love is love. You can't love someone more or less.You can't "sorta" love somebody- not if it's real love. Now, your understanding of the other person may grow and become enriched with time, but love is love.

Well, first instinct says "5 year old"....
But its a matter that requires deep contemplation....... The kind of love that your child needs from you keeps on changing as he/she grows up.... and in the same way, his/her expression of love changes too........
At 5 or thereabouts, your child gets pure love and affection from you and returns the same to you. He doesnt expect much from you, he is not concerned about other things...His universe revolves around you... But as he grows up, he comes into contact with others, makes friends within his own age group..... And likes to spend more of his time with them... At that time He "needs" you rather than "want" you.......... The love that he expects from you takes a different meaning.... .But still, his love for you remains the same within his heart
And when you go further down the line, when he is an adult........... Life isnt the same for him, he has his own kids and spouse to take care of................. But still, his love for you remains the same within his heart
Actually, the point i'm explaining all this leads to one thing, so i'll go straight towards that........ :
In the heart, my 35 year old child loves as much as he did when he was 5....... But its the expression that changes..... He may not show it now as much as he did when he was 5... Actually, It depends on me totally...The way i brought him up..i.e. If i take time from my work to sit with him and talk to him, and often tell him that i love him....He will learn to follow the same practice. He will learn that when you love someone it is necessary to express it. And he will do likewise when he grows up.... When i'm old and retired, he will take time out from work to sit and talk to me.... He will show his love for me...............I hope you got my point..........
The thing to remember is "You reap what you sow"........ !!!!

Both when there 5years old they look up to you..children are what we teach..the older they get they move out/ get married have children of there own, but they learn to respect you because of everything they we're taught....
