children are so creative, and imaginitive. Why do you think that lessens as we grow older. Why do you think as a child we need an imagination? Is it part of our curiousity and the way we learn?

I think the problem is that as we get older, options get more and more limited. Just look at how problem to international problems are blocked by politics. As children, anything is possible. Children have a simpler view of the world which allow for more options to explore, hence more imagination.

We don't lose our imaginations, we lose touch with our imagination. I promise it's there, underneath all the fear and practicality, waiting like an ancient treasure in a stone, cobwebby tomb.
We forget our dreams because if we gave ourselves permission to remember them, we would have to shine.
We fail to shine out of a misguided sense of duty (e.g., "If I shine, I'll lose the delecate house-of-cards I've built to keep myself "in the race").
The truth is, most of our fears are not going to happen. In fact, many of them are not even ours - we pick them up from other people along the way and somehow convince ourselves subconciously that just as soon as we work through all of the fears and obligations we've picked up, we'll get back to being truly "us".
Breathe deeply and know you are ok, even if you unleash the power of your imagination. Do not be intimidated by your own shine or shadow.

I definitely think an imagination fosters children's curiosity and helps them learn. I also think we lose our imagination as we grow older because we start to understand, and seek out, the truthful and rational explanations for our experiences.

We experience real life and real stress. We're no longer naive and innocent to what is going on around us. It is sort of a catch 22, as we grow older we become wiser, yet because of that we become less imaginative and whimsical.
I believe children are so imaginative because there is nothing holding there mind back. Logic hasn't told them "its not possible" to them everything is possible. At least we get to experience this once in our lives.

The reason is we use it less,as a child we dream about where to go and what we can be. This changes as we grow older because we think about what we have become and where we have been.

in particular no longer something happens to our mind's eye as we become older, however the undertaking undergoes a metamorphosis. in my opinion, mind's eye finally keeps to be an mind's eye, it is not mature or immature and it neither expands nor it shrinks or constricts. added info: do no longer hassle, in case you like your mind's eye, you will on no account lose it, because of the fact it desires multiple non secular prepare like meditation and different efforts to to realize or exchange into attentive to the fact or the undeniable fact that lies in the back of it.

As adults we face reality, as children we learn as we go,but I don't think as we age we lose our imagination,its still there, just less of an opportunity to use it at will...=)

As we grow older, we get more acquainted with reality.

They don't pay the bills, no stress. Pay the bills when we are older is called reality, no way around it.
