I think 1-5 - when everything is new and interesting, and when they get a big kick of things, and when their parents are the most wonderful things in the world, and when their relationship with their parents and home and family is all pretty much "a honeymoon". I think 6-12 is pretty muc a close second, although some worries about friends and fitting in and self image start to kick in toward the end of this period.
I don't think putting 13-18 is really a proper "category" because for 13 being a teenager is new, and they're still kind of enthusiastic. 14 and 15 are probably the absolutely most difficult times - nothing is right, they can't work, drive, or do a lot of things kids 16 and older can do; they're bored, they're wishing the time away, and, in general, not much is right with anything. 16-18 is a kind of ignorant bliss thing - they can drive, work, plan for college, date, etc; and because "it can't happen to me" they are carefree, careless and kind of happy in spite of what's not the way they wan it yet.
18-mid-twenties tends to be depressed, dissatisfied with lack of progress, and disenchanted; and yet they know how to have a good time.
From the mid-twenties on until age-related illness kicks in late in life - it can in many ways be the best time of one's life; and yet in many ways the saddest because loss of parents and others puts a damper on an otherwise satisfying stage of life.
More than you asked for, I know, but I can't stop myself from doing the extra thinking it all out......

I think there's "best" at every age. Those first baby months went way too quickly - even though I appreciated every moment of them. The age of one to three is extremely wondrous because a child is discovering absolutely everything for the first time, and it is great to see the world through the eyes of a child. From four to six, you can see the maturity creeping in, and as they learn to read, a whole new world opens up for them. From six to 10, they seem to become little people, as they deal with friendships and social stuff, as well as school. From 11 to 14 (which is where I'll stop because my son is 14), puberty brings challenges and fun times. There is such a pull between being a kid and being grown-up, so it's very interesting. Hope this helps....

That they are accepted and loved for who they are. That they can be creative and learn a little independence depending on their age. Being loved by their parents is the most important, knowing spiritual things about God and how God cares about every area of their life. If they are loved and accepted at home they won't be so quick to lean on peers for self esteem.

a million. human beings do not opt to study what to do, era. Being instructed what to do calls for one to offer up ability. 2. children opt to discover issues for themselves. 3. mothers and fathers have a tendency to grow to be overbearring (controlling). now and again mothers and fathers go too far. 4. Peer rigidity conflicts with the demands of the mothers and fathers. children are often definitely inspired with the aid of friends. 5. lack of adventure 6. lack of expertise 7. children have a favor to be appreciate and consequently seek for independence with the aid of creating their own judgements. 8. now and again children disobey their mothers and fathers because they don't percentage an same values as their mothers and fathers. If couples strengthen aside, why can't a figure and a baby. 9. now and again the figure is misguided. operating example, a figure who incorporates a racist ideology must be rejected with the aid of his or her newborn, because he or she is purely incorrect. 10. children experience powerless, so as that they take their anger out of their mothers and fathers.

Probably whatever stage they're currently in - although I think 2-8 are the best years.
Worst, for girls at least, is probably 13-17.

When they sleep :) I guess that would be the best part for the parent anyway.
