She does not seem to invite one (a child) to join in the water. Is she laughing at you? Are you afraid of the water? This picture only induces these questions due to the heading 'childhood', other than that I would not have seen more than a broadly smiling nice lady. Good picture by the way.

Somehow this does not say "childhood" to me.

I'm not sure how to interpret this photo... It's not a child in the photo... maybe it's an adult representing a childhood theme of swimming? - jmsetzler

A nice smile, but has nothing to do with the subject.

This seems like the exact type of photos of children we'd have gotten had children been allowed. I think in that way it's not really in the spirit of the challenge. Without the title, you see joy maybe, but not childhood. Her arm seems in focus, where I'd prefer it to be her face. Her tan against the water is nice. 3, just-married
