How to use childhood in a sentence?

  1. J. D. Salinger:

    If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

  2. Alexis de Tocqueville:

    ... above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications, and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent, if, like that authority, its object was to prepare them for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood...

  3. Overbury:

    If a man die young he hath left us at dinner; it is bed-time with a man of three score and ten; and he that lives a hundred years hath walked a mile after supper. This life is but one day of three meals, or one meal of three courses?childhood, youth, and old age. To sup well is to live well, and that?s the way to sleep well.

  4. Sharon Carstairs:

    We don't wish for our young children to continue high-fat diets into their later childhood and adult life as this is linked to health problems.

  5. William Lee Golden:

    I had a vision of doing this a year-and-a-half before the pandemic, and I talked to my sons about it. When the pandemic hit, about three or four weeks into it, I called my sons over to the house. I saw we were dealing with a negative situation in life, and I decided to take them back to my childhood, to the old songs that I started out singing in the very beginning, with my sister and my little brother.
