I don’t think children keep promises like considering the many cases that I have seen and I learned as a thrill for experience. First I would say that they don’t actually understand what promises. So for that reason it is highly unlikely to keep them when they give them to others. Moreover, promise is such a difficult thing to keep that even older people have challenges to have them and do them on time when it’s given by them. However, I suppose it depends on people because even though some people are so young they can’t keep them if they give them to others by all hurt. I experienced this kind of thing when I was just 10 years old. In those times I had a friend who had strong opinions and powerful insight from everything. He always understood and knew the promise as the integral part of our life and crucial thing to do when it’s given.

I don't think children keep promises, considering the many cases that I have seen and learned from experience. First, I would say that they don't actually understand what promises are. For that reason, it is highly unlikely for them to keep promises when they make them to others. Moreover, keeping a promise is such a difficult thing that even older people face challenges in fulfilling them on time. However, I suppose it depends on the individual because even though some young people may struggle to keep promises, others can do so wholeheartedly. I experienced this kind of situation when I was just 10 years old. At that time, I had a friend who had strong opinions and powerful insights about everything. He always understood and recognized promises as an integral part of our lives and a crucial commitment to uphold when made.
