Both phases are completely different from each other. But both are crucial for our life. They play a different but important role in our upbringing and both are interrelated with one another.
There are many differences between childhood and adulthood. In fact, Childhood is the age when there is no pressure of work and responsibilities but adulthood is the phase when we have to understand the responsibilities and the attachments we have with others.
Childhood is considered as the innocent phase of our life. Childhood is a period of time when we are in the process of sensing the things going around us.
We are mature enough to take our decisions and work for securing a bright future. We chose our path to build our career. In western culture, adulthood is the phase when youngsters are considered that they are mature enough to fulfill their financial needs. In India, the scenario is a little different our parents can take care of our needs and responsibilities after adulthood too. Childhood and Adulthood are different phases of life. Following points can differentiate both phases of life:. In terms of Responsibilities: In the childhood phase, we grow as a child.
There is no understanding of responsibilities or needs. While growing as an adult or facing the adulthood phase, we concerned about our future, career, responsibilities, and financial dependences. It may be asked, though, whether this is an intrinsic difference between children and adults, or whether this is simply due to the ways in which other people view us differently when we are children and when we are adults.
As children, we look up to our parents for love and guidance. Though this is still a feature of our relationship with our parents when we become adults, as adults we can also become parents ourselves.
Moreover, very often, our experiences of childhood help to shape the types of parents that we become during adulthood. And, in their turn, our children may use us as their models when they come to be parents themselves. Thus, it is important to always strive to be a loving, good parent as we are thereby setting a good example for our children to follow.
As adults, we tend to have a wider range of skills than children do. For example, adults can drive a car, write in joined up handwriting, do more complex mathematical sums and so on. These are things that children either find difficult to do or are even legally forbidden to do.
Nonetheless, it is also true that children sometimes have a greater aptitude for learning new skills than adults do. In fact, the child is normally no allowed to do any decision by himself. He is always guided and looked upon to. If in times he commits mistakes, it will be his guardians or his parents who will take the blame. And they are the very people who will teach the child on how to learn from such mistakes.
In the same manner, if in moments of challenging times wherein the child commit some deviant behaviors making him to sway away from the righteous parts, it will be the parents or the guardians who will be accountable for such deviant acts because it would seem that they have not given the right moral education for the child.
Meanwhile, as for the adulthood, the exact opposite happens. The person who just reached maturity and adult phase of his life will then have to be accountable for all his actions and decisions. He will now be the one to decide for himself and even for the little ones who are now looking up to him.
He will have to decide what he wants to do with his life. He will be deciding whether to continue working or not. He will be deciding whether to move and build a house of his own or stay where e is right now. Every big and little decision will be entirely on his shoulders during this stage.
Not only that, he may need to take responsibility for making decisions for other people who are now depending on him. Because he just reach the age where he may have his own family and kids, he needs to ensure that not only himself is safe from troubles and problems, he must take into consideration his own kids and other family members.
In short, as one reaches adulthood, it would mean that the person himself is accountable for himself and other people. It would seem that he will be returning the favor that his parents or guardians did when he was just o the childhood phase.
Now it will be his time to serve as the role model for the youngsters. Now it will be his time to take the blame when he did something shameful and deviant. Now it will be his time to be responsible for the wrongdoings that his kids may have done. In terms of financials, there is also very big difference. Because during the childhood phase, the child is not responsible to anything, it just a common tendency that he will no be worrying about the money.

According to the beginning of this chapter, each person who lives long enough will become a part of every age group. Without choice, we must all go through the various stages in life and eventually join the ranks of the aged. Like other cultural groups, we feel, think, perceive, and behave, in part, based on the age group to which we belong.
The study of age as a function of culture is important to educators because it helps them understand how the child or adolescent struggles to win peer acceptance and to balance this effort with the need for parental approval.
