There are times when I feel the best thing for any little would be to toss aside the many layers of sophistication we may of felt pushed in the direction of while trying to cover over this side of us such as the fascination in being on top of news and celebratory gossip.
Just switch off the phone and computer, put on simple outfit like a pinafore dress and place yourself on a largish bed or the floor with some plushies, simple blocks with letters or patterns and a colouring book and let it all out in play.
Be engrossed in it, make "silly" noises, create dialogue for your toys while you play.
Go on nature walks skipping, jump in a puddle, even try writing a note to your grown up side telling them just how you feel about being hidden.
The only you that matters is the authentic one.
I could not agree more, let your inner child into your life whenever you can. Romp, explore and learn something new, even get into a bit of naughty mischief if you like. No gain to me personally, but you might enjoy reading Robert Foulgram's book, Almost Everything I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten.
