I used qualitative methods in form of essays and interviews in pairs. The results showed that love and relations are very important to children. They express many feelings as joy and sadness depending on their experiences. Children are very much aware of the opposite gender and they clearly differ between love and friendship. There are no great differences between gender in the way they talk, think and act when it comes to love. (Less)
