There are some ancient manuscripts which provide information about Jesus’s childhood, like “The Infancy Gospel of James,” “The Infancy Gospel of Thomas,” and the “First Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ.” But the Church does not give credence to these so-called “infancy gospels” because these were written about 200 years after Jesus’s death.
I would like to think that, being God, He must have spent His childhood learning what it means to be human. He wanted very much to be like us, so He must have exposed Himself to everything that would help Him understand what makes us jump for excitement, scream in fear, or cry in our pillows at night. As a human being, He was vulnerable to sickness, sorrow, trials, problems, and other unwanted but necessary components of life.
I have often wondered why the image of the “Santo Niño” is adorned with a crown and all the trappings of royalty and power. It doesn’t look like a child, but a miniature Christ the King. Worse, many Filipinos treat the “Santo Niño” like dolls, which they dress up according to whim and fancy, parading these during “Ati-atihan” festivals like an “anito.”

We already have an image of the Child Jesus in the Manger showing his poverty and weakness. However, Jesus is King from Childhood and he is God so it will be stupid of us to abandon the image of Jesus as The Child-King Sto. Nino. Both must be preserved.
