Is it okay for a teenager interested in helping and playing with little kids?
I wanna know, honestly, from a teen's perspective: have you ever had an interest in a childcare field and wanted to play with little kids. Was there a time you couldn't because of society? Also when is it okay to play with little kids? For the boys have you ever been judged for wanting to play help or be with little kids
For some background I'm a 15-year-old boy and I have younger cousins but no siblings but wanted younger siblings so it's been around little kids. I wanted to babysit people in my neighborhood but I just moved so I didn't know them. So I was playing with some five- and six-year-olds to get to know them and stuff like that. But my dad said no because I was to old (14) I was asking other people about it, and my interest in little kids, and they bullied me about it and say I'm not normal and stuff which hurt me inside so I wanted to ask yall to challenge my negative history and thinking and get more insight since they gave me no detail to back there obscure statements
