There are many ways of getting in touch with ones inner child; however these ways seem to be forgotten by people over time.  I lost touch with my inner child around the time I started high school.  I never really knew that I'd lost touch with my inner child until I found it again through my nephew.  I was amazed the stress free life my little nephew led and the care-free attitude he had.  I wanted to take on the world once again with a fresh perspective on things so I didn't stress so much about the little things that would usually drive me crazy.  Losing touch with your inner child is like losing a part of yourself and it is unhealthy.  Life is trying and stressful and if you can't get away through your inner child then you may lose your sanity.  A great way for anyone to get in touch with their inner child is to do childish things like swinging on a swing, singing out loud, finger painting, or just simply spending some time with a child.
