Child-like not Childish

What's the difference? I hear you say.

To me being child-like is having wonder, love, fun, silliness, playfulness, enjoyment, excitement, good energy, and so much more good innocent stuff.

Being childish is all of that but with an "ish" thrown in, meaning you haven't quite gotten there. Your acts could have layers of cruelty toward the recipient (an innocent child never starts off this way), the things you do may have a selfish ring to them and aren't just about joy and kindness.

So next time you want to question whether you are being child-like or childish, you just need to ask yourself one question. Is this bringing joy to everyone involved? Simple.
