[quote=Anonymous]Idyllic? As you said assuming loving, attentive, supportive parents,  to me personally an idyllic childhood means lots of time and space/means to explore and play with friends, mostly outdoors without parents hovering. Like, getting outside to play, finding friends and going for bikes rides exploring the woods, lakes and just having plain "adventures" with their friends.

A house that is not pristine and looks "lived in" with some mess and nice smell of home cooking and baking.

Financially, having the opportunity to live in a house (doesn't need to be big) but comfortable and allowing for a personal/private space.

Opportunity (financial) to explore talents and hobbies as they show interest, but not being overloaded with activities to the point that they spend more awake hours out of the house going from one place to another.

Family vacations, be it at Europe, Disney, campgroung or the beach renting a house with extended family.

THAT to me is an idyllic childhood.  [/quote]
