I don't remember ever feeling lonely; in fact, on the rare occasions when I met other children I found their games and their talk far less interesting than the adventures and dialogues I read in my books.

About This Quote

Being a child is a time of innocence and wonderment, so it is no surprise that children can’t stand being apart from their parents as they grow up. In fact, as the years progress, children begin to take on adult responsibilities and become less dependent on their parents. Few people have ever been able to remain completely sheltered from the world around them forever. Every now and then a child will have a moment or two where he or she misses the company of parents.

However, this should not be a cause for concern. As long as your child remains happy and loved, there is no need to worry about missing out on anything.
