1. kids always do things thinking in if they going to have fun, and the adults do things thinking than is more an obligation, than just for fun, for example the people who goes to work, but they don´t like their jobs, so they fell terrible, and they do everithing with a terrible atitude; if the adults could change the way to do things, and try to found a little fun in their things, including their jobs; probably all the workers can give us a better atention to costumers, or betwing them.
ResponderBorrar2. I think, it worth-imitanting the humility than he had, inclusive when he earn a lot of money, he never lost that; I think in these days know somebody, who earn a lot of money and still had a little of humility, is not commun, I mean exist people like that, but is not ussually, is not than you have to be talking with all, but that is a rule for life than I´m going toschare with my children and the rest of the world ; that´s the principal, and show how you can enjoy doing things inclusive your job, and how you he could share that to his co-workes, you can imited that, if you go to a hostil work, with the right atitude, you can make everithing change.
3. he go back to his life, because he miss his family, but he miss more his mother, as the movie shows he became more sucssesfull, after he shares his opinion about the toys, but he always was a kid, and nothing was more important for him than his mother, inclusive he try to explain to his mother what happend with him, but she is not bealive him; because is incredibly, the message is to me than nothing is more important than the family, or your mother.
4. I think having that oportunity, I´ll enjoy for a moment, but in a period of time I decide to go back to my life, because I prefer my family firt than money, and probably I´ll miss my mom too.

1-. Maybe he was lucky to get things that the other people want but is too hard to get in the life. And perhaps he did the thing with the heart and he was loving the things that he did in his job.
ResponderBorrar2-. Well, we could do many things that he did, like love what we do in our jobs or what we are studying.
And also never try to damage anyone to get a better position in our job, so we can help others persons but never forget yourself.
3-.Because the life of a child is too difference than an adult, because when you are child you just think to play or something like that but when you are adult you have a lot of responsabilities but in a moment you can not with this appression and I think that something like that occured with him.
4-. Really I do not know because if I go back to my childhood I would change some mistakes and I have to leave thing that in that moment I could not do but now I can do is difficult to decide it.
So If I follow my life I can get another things and experiences and not repeat the same mistakes.
1.The reason is, the children always think about the things that make them happy and they have the enthusiasm and love to do whatever, that does not happen with adults they always think about money and things that make them more important.
ResponderBorrarThat is the problem because they only think about the benefit they can get, not on what really matters so, you have to enjoy everything you do.
2. The most beautiful thing that we can imitate is the love that he had for his family specially for his mother, because nowadays that feeling does not exists in people. That lack of love is the reason for many disintegrate families. We can make a change all over the word.
3. He decided to back to his life because he loved his family and his mother, that he did not change it for anything in the world. When he became in adult he tried to explain to his mother what had happened but she did not believe him that affected him. He understood that this is the most important thing we can have in life, our family specially our mothers.
4. I love my life and now I am enjoying my life but yes, I would like to back to my childhood everything was easy, I did not have responsibilities and I did not have problems.
I analyze that we have every stage of our life and we have to enjoy those stages because the money and the material things will pass it but the time and the family never will pass it.
Every time that I think in my childhood, I give thanks to God and I will continue giving thanks to God because I have enjoy every stage in my life so far.

Hi, I hope you all are enjoying your vacations!
ResponderBorrar1. I think he could do all the things that adults try so hard but they can't reach because he was still a child, he thought like a child so he knew what a child likes. Another reason is that he was curious about the world and had the best expectations in people and complicated situations, that’s why adults sometimes don't understand children because when we grow up we stop thinking like children and forget that important part of us and that's what holds us back to really all that crazy ideas that a child without problem would do.
2. One of the many things that he did that I think could be good to imitating and spreading is believe in ourselves no matter what other people think about it or say and show the world if we are capable of dream something we can make it, we only have to trust in what we are capable and do it; another one would be to stay true to ourselves like Joshua at the begging of the movie when he wore stamped shirts and colorful clothes despite of the fact that the people around hem wore formal and boring office clothes and finally chosen family over anything, that’s a big lesson about true love.
3. Although he was successful than the rest, he didn't have his family to share all his achievements, although he had Susan he felt that he needed something more; because there is not a thing more important than family, despite of the fact that he would have a wonderful life, he couldn't leave behind his family; because he knew that his family were thinking that he was kidnaped and they wouldn't be fine until know anything about him so he didn't want to make them go through that horrible situation anymore.
4. I would go back to my life because my family is one of the most important things I have, although I had a wonderful work and had a lot of money but if that means that I couldn't see ever again my family would be unimaginable; so I would choose the same decision as Josh.
1-The chilhood is a part of the life where everyone of us dream get our own wishes, but there are reasons that we need to thing what to do.
ResponderBorrarIn this case Josh was feel inlove but he thouhgth he the girls did not pay atention because he was small and his parents treat him like child.
He achieved do his dreames reality thanks to the help of his friend because he help to him to find a hotel and to find a job. Maybe he never lost the faiht of finding it, because he thought like a adult because he did not live with his parents and he had to work to pay his apartment.
He was responsability with himself because he knew that he was of adult appearence, he achieved everything working a lot and that is a good aspect because there are people who want achieved the things of easy way and is not correct,is better to work every day to achieve our goals.
2-From Josh worth imitating:His trust with his friend and the way how they shared in their chilhood with his friend billy because this teach us there are situations where we can be helped when we need a lot. Also is importante to be honest always, like Josh was with Susan. Always said the truth, in spite his age he was sincere and he thought well, the important in his life was his family no matter situations lived in his daily rutins.
Another important thing is the way he interacted with his co-workers or the company's staff, because he was always smiling and doing his job with enthusiasm.
There are situations like this where the work breaks down the family, because everyone wants to achieve their goals but family coexistence is important.
3-I think he get back because is not the most important the money than the family,also because is better the life in house from his parents or sharing with his friends than live a stile of life where he only was working and not sharing with his family,There are situations like this where work destroys the family, because everyone wants to achieve their goals, but family life is important.
Success is important but we must always think and realize where we came from and who brought us up and how they brought us up.
4-I would go back to my childhood or adolescence life because I would do some things that I did not achieve, for example I would try to make my parents live a better life style, if it is Josh's case I would prefer my family than money, because there is nothing more valuable than the parents.
1) I think that Boys takes fast decisión without thinking alot,they have fun doing every thing,while the adults think alot when they want to take a decisión and think in more opportunities.Sometimes adults do things for convenience or obligation.So this boy got every little think doing with love and fun.
ResponderBorrar2) Is good imitating make some things that fun and relax us ,at the seme time remove some estress that alot work causes us.Include the love,health and fun are some of the most important thing in our life. Another important thing is enjoy each stage of our lives, because it depends in our life.
3) He chose to go back, because he missed his mother and almost had lost because she notrecognized.Also he missed all these fun things that he made with other Boys of his age.
4) Sometimes i think it would be good, because in our life of children things are more fun,also to change some things thay maybe i did wrong, or take more time in some things that i didn’t do.

ResponderBorrar1 . I think that this boy a 13 year - old did accomplish to do everything because of his way of thinking because he did see the things differenty way with creativity, imagination and enthusiasm. Also he could express his feelings with sincerity and innocence something adults can't do.
2 . I think that something in Josh Basking that worth - imitating are his responsibility and his commitment with his job to the company, also his comunication with his family this have to spreading around the whole world because are important in the life.
3 . I believe that he chose to go back to his life to return home because he missed his family and his friends, he wanted to live and share time with them and make a normal and daily life.
4 . Well, I think that I would go back to my life from before because I could do things all right and not make mistakes that one can later regret them.
1 In my opinion, he got accomplish those difficult things because he did not think about how difficult it was to get a job and keep it, that boy just thought about enjoying what he was doing. Most adults can not achieve these things because they do not focus on enjoying what they do, adults are only interested in earn money, even though they hate what they do.
ResponderBorrar2 The things those we should imitate and spread around the world are probably the following: number one is the courage to take difficult challenges like Josh Basking did, despite the fact that at the beginning it was difficult for him to live alone in an uncomfortable place. Josh managed to get out of there and he did not stay crying forever because he was very brave, the same thing should people do all over the world when they have difficult moments not to think that their life ends but rather to fight with the courage to achieve their goals. The second thing we should spread around the world is the love for the family Josh Basking, even though he had become very successful, he loved and missed his family, many people forgot their family because they spend a lot of time with their jobs, so people should take the example from Josh.
3He chose to return to his life because he was still a child inside him and a child needs to grow without losing the experiences that make him up to be an adult. He also missed his family, his friends, school, etc. Josh simply wanted to enjoy like any child who enjoys his childhood.
4It is a difficult question but I have two points of view: If I had been Josh, I probably would not have come back to my childhood, I would have adapted to the change thinking that finally, I got everything I wanted as a child, all toys, sweets etc. But on my second point of view, if I start to think about my family like Josh, I might have come back to my childhood because I am a little bit sentimental and I would have missed my mom a lot.
I loved that movie.

1) The only reason why a child does something is to be happy and to be able to enjoy the moment, instead an adult always seeks his own interest, a social status, and money. I believe that for that reason we should never leave the child we are inside to feel free and seek happiness.
ResponderBorrar2) One of the things that we can imitate of Josh is the love that he has towards other people, like his family, his friends and mainly like that, the confidence of not being afraid to show himself and of being able to fulfill our own dreams, we just have to believe.
3) He choose to return to his life because he realizes that he has lost the most important thing for him as the family, he misses his mother a lot and realizes that the life of adult to that of a child is totally different, a child thinks in having fun and playing instead an adult has responsibilities.
4) I think I would go back to my life because I would enjoy more every moment of my life with my family and people I love, because not everything is forever and there are very special people who only end in memories. So if I had the same opportunity of Josh, I would return to childhood without thinking twice.
1. - Well, I think that a child is so curious and imaginative, that they achieve all they want; because they do not get any stress and preoccupation about it. They take life in an easy way; sometime we as adults, we get a lot stress, and this just make us lose the line that we are trying to follow. And we try so hard but not with the enthusiasm that a child do it.
ResponderBorrar2. - First, the love that he had for his family and best friend, because with love we can change people’s thoughts and hearts. He showed us that family is first. Second, keeping our identity; because he did not change even if the circumstances were others.
3. - I think he decided go back, because even that he was having successful he did not have his family to share it. We always need to have someone to share all our feelings and accomplishments; and I think some of those persons are our family.
4. - Yes of course, maybe I would enjoy a few time, but I am sure I would have the same feeling like Josh to go back. I would started to miss my friends and family. I think everything have the exactly moment to happen; so we do not need to force time and things.
1.🌻 Despite what you may believe, I'm pretty sure that it was not because he was a child that he could reach all those things he got, the deal is that something we make mistakes and after that, we need to face them, so, I'll say that's why Josh could do that (Got all those things), because of the necessity to carry on with his life. That's why he put all his effort and at some moment he enjoyed his job. I'm convinced sometimes for adults, job becomes a routine and they get worried about it and they stop enjoying life.
ResponderBorrar2.🌻 I really like the part when he face the mistake he did. (Because I'm almost positive it was a mistake) So, he tried to speak with his mother and she didn't listen to him, but he never gave up, unlikely, he got a job and he was successful even when it was not the life he wanted, his family was far from him, HE CARRIED ON!
3.🌻 I bet that at the end, Josh realized that he was omitting a big phase of his life. I can't imagine being a 33 years old man and still thinking as a child. I'm positive he needed his family and the life he was living after asked that wish.
Of course he was so successful, but he was not happy, he had a job, money, toys, but life became harder.
I strongly believe he wasn't ready to have that kind of responsibilities.
4.🌻 Undoubtedly I would come back to my life. I'll do that for my family, but, firstly for me, because, I think, in life we have time for every phase of it and I know sometimes we choose wrong and even we want to grow up so fast and skip some parts of life, but I'm pretty sure everyone of them has something to teach us. So, to become a mature and successful person we need to go step by step, and don't forget the most important thing: LEARNING FROM LIFE, CARRY ON AND BUILDING OURSELVES!👐
1) I consider that this 13-year-old boy could achieve all those little things easily that for an adult it was difficult, because his mind was clear of the problems that adults have in his head, this made him get the boy child, what that many adults can´t achieve.
ResponderBorrar2) I can be imitated by Josh Baskin is his behavior, his mentality and his way of living in peace.
3) He chose to return to his childhood life for his family and friends, because that was the most important thing that he had, although even though he had everything in his other adult life, he wasn´t happy.
4) Of course I would go back, why not, having a child's life is the most beautiful thing that exists in the world.
1.- I think the kids just do things, they usually do with happiness and without look for anything in return. I'm sure that's why they're always happy.
ResponderBorrar2.- For me, his sincerity and humility. He always did all with sincere: His job, his love for his girlfriend, that's so important! And his humility because when he had a good pay for his job never forgoten his friend and what who he was.
3.- Umm, I think because he missed so much his family and he never know about his success. He just was a child and he didn't care about all the money what he earned.
4.- Not! Because I don't have a lot time in my life for all I want do. I'm sure I would never come back into my life. I love my family, Yes, but I think I could looking them in my new life... Why not? LOL

ResponderBorrar1. When we are kids we just care about what makes us happy, we can be truly happy even with the smallest things, we don’t care about pride, judgment, angry and all the emotions that prevail in adults; instead of, what prevail in us as children are happiness, inocence and we lack selfishness.
ResponderBorrarAs kids we can see the truly beauty in life, our imagination is our only limit, we keep that imagination when we get older but most of the time the fear and other circumstances don’t let us exploit all the potential of our imagination, happens completely different when we are kids.
2. I think we need more humbleness as Josh has; we need to get more focus in what makes us happy; we need kindness, innocence and beauty of heart.
3. He was being really successful, but all that success could not compare with the love for his family; his mother missed him a lot and he felt that way too. I think that was the main reason why he decided to get back to his life as a kid. He had lost a lot of stages in his life becoming in an adult; maybe he wanted to live that moments by his own as every one of us have lived by.
4. As Josh did I would did it too. I think, as Josh, I would have missed my family and that would has been enough to make me take the decision.
1.- Maybe the mentality of that child was different from what adults usually have, maybe even the child started everything as a game, maybe he didn't even think if he really would, but due to his peculiar way of thinking, he succeeded.
ResponderBorrar2.-I think something good about Josh Basking was the value of his friendship towards his friend, also his commitment to his job
at the time he acquired it even knowing that he had no experience. Also that we don't forget who we are even if we are successful adults, don't forget what we were before. (a child)
3.- Because money is not everything, it can not buy happiness, much less the need to company of the family. And maybe he began to miss his life from before, where he was happy.
4.- It's a question a little difficult to answer😅, it makes me think a lot about all the things I've lived. I think I would not do it because they are stages of life that we must go through, if we can remember them, but we must continue in the course of our lives, without forgetting our inner being clearly. 😊

ResponderBorrar1.I think that children are optimistic, believe in their ability and do things to be happy, And adults do things by ambition and do not enjoy what they do, And I thinkthe reason why I achieve so much success is because He did it for fun and not for obligation.
ResponderBorrar2. The most important things is he had his own identity he was a generous person, He was a person who enjoys what he did,he was a person who did not care what they said about him,he dressed and acted as how does he like it.
3. I think he decided to be a boy again because he understood that everything has its time and what is important to live each stage of our life and not jump to another,she also thought about the pain she caused her mother not being with her.
4. I really would like to go back to my childhood where I had no responsibility just to do my homewor and I would also like to go back to my childhood as I considered that I made some mistakes and I have not taken advantage of some opportunities The most important reason why I would like to go back to my childhood is to correct the mistakes made in the course of my life.
1-I think that the achievement of everything an adult could not achieve thanks to his way of showing his innocence of doing things and despite everything, although at the beginning it cost him to become an adult, he managed to get used to and achieve great things how to become the design manager of toys but all this is achieved by showing that people who are humble achieve great things without thinking.
ResponderBorrar2-The things that are worth imitating are the humility that if one as a person is humble anywhere will be accepted and you will have confidence innocence this is more than everything that if you know things better be like the one who knows nothing to be able to learn more and be the best in the assigned work educated and respectful to always have the respect of other people.
3-I think that he was going back to his normal life because he missed his mother and because of the great lack she gave him and also because of the friendship he had with Billy.
4-I would return to my childhood because I would miss my family my friends and everyone close to me and also return to my childhood to change things that are not in my plans for the future or if I make an error so I can fix it and everything works well also one when returning to childhood reflects and tries to be a better person and tries to help others so that they do not make mistakes and do not regret after their future so they say life must be lived because only one Once you live and every stage of life you have to enjoy it to the fullest.

1. I believe that Josh Basking, without much knowledge, he can see how to do things, he didn't study but he learned about he saw and see about how to create something new and different and the adults have many responsibilities, maybe they work out of necessity and they lose love to their work that makes them less successful, because they do not do it with all the enthusiasm that is needed, they live worried about tomorrow that we do not know if it will exist and we forget about today.
ResponderBorrar2. ~ The respect for women, because it is for men to know how to conquer and treat a woman well.
~ Love of his work because he gave everything he could give without expecting anything in return and he had fun doing what he did.
3. I think it was because he wanted to finish his adolescence, youth and then be a great adult, responsible and successful, because he realized that with effort and love for his work he would be a great person, and I even think that for him a lot of money was not very necessary.
4. I would return to my life, because I would not want to lose one of my stages where I would have nothing to worry about and if I would like to remember moments of my preparation stages to face life.
1.Actually this film apart from being fun leaves us a very important message as a 13 year old child could achieve so many things, this leads us to the conclusion that many times we as adults do not do the things that we like or maybe we do not have the attitude positive needed to achieve what we want, remember that want is power.
ResponderBorrar2.We can take into account that one of the things that I found very good is the love of family to their friends, is a friendly person and the main thing that has confidence in hisself.
3.I think he wanted to go back to his life because he was aware that everything has its time and he was living a life that he really did not have to take to his age.
4.Well, if something similar to that happens to me, I really do not know if I would return to my life, it depends on how this is happening with my new life, if I'm doing well, I'll stay and if not, I'll be back.

ResponderBorrar1. Sometimes when we are adults, we concentrat in other things that not be important and we forget some important things like be spontaneous, happy and dynamic person. And most of the time all the companies want energetic employees as Josh Basking with a lot of enthusiasm and love for their jobs.
2. Some good things that are worth-imitation and spreading in Josh Basking are:
-His love for enjoy the life.
-His way of being: spontaneous, dynamic and happy.
-His love for his family.
Because these values help us to be a better person and try to do the best of us in all aspects of our life.
3. Because he missed his family and he wanted to do all the things that he missed to do as a child.
4. Well, I don't like to back in my life, because I believe that all things are in their time and all the things I had to live as a child has already happened, now I have to enjoy my adult stage.

ResponderBorrar1. Because this guy just wanted to enjoy the moment, he did not think about what he had to do in the future, and maybe the adults think a lot about what they have to do the next day and forget to enjoy the moment.
ResponderBorrar2. Love, could be seen as he showed his affection to his friend and his family.
3. I think, that he had to finish developing his childhood and enjoy time with family and friends of the same age.
4. Yes, of course I would like to return to my life to enjoy more time with my family and friends that I lost in some time.
maybe to correct mistakes, although each of them is learned.
1. Because a child does things spontaneously, just think about reaching the proposed goal while an adult thinks about the consequences of actions and many times, for fear of failure, dare not try anything .
ResponderBorrar2. In my opinion these would be: Loyalty: When a friendship is pouring loyalty is very important because it generates trust and so on.
Support: Being in good times and bad for friends.
Enthusiasm: You want to do things well and availability to support what you can.
I think that if things like these were practiced together there would not be so much selfishness and envy.
3. He decided to return for the love of his family above all because he missed his mother.
4. I would not return to my childhood, I believe that from my childhood to now everything that happened was for my personal growth that the mistakes for people and things that God has taken away from me have been to put something better. it does not exist and it only remains to fight to build a better future while enjoying the present.
1.- Maybe the mentality of that child was different from what adults usually have, maybe even the child started everything as a game, maybe he didn't even think if he really would, but due to his peculiar way of thinking, he succeeded.
ResponderBorrar2.-I think something good about Josh Basking was the value of his friendship towards his friend, also his commitment to his job
at the time he acquired it even knowing that he had no experience. Also that we don't forget who we are even if we are successful adults, don't forget what we were before. (a child)
3.- Because money is not everything, it can not buy happiness, much less the need to company of the family. And maybe he began to miss his life from before, where he was happy.
4.- It's a question a little difficult to answer😅, it makes me think a lot about all the things I've lived. I think I would not do it because they are stages of life that we must go through, if we can remember them, but we must continue in the course of our lives, without forgetting our inner being clearly. 😊
