what does the poet mean by attaining the freedom of his mind. in the poem childhood?

Dear Student.

Freedom of mind means the ability to form one's own opinions and developing rational thinking. The poet realises that we are all individuals in our own rights. When we can form opinions and have thoughts that are not influenced by others or biased by outside agencies, we express our individuality. The poet became aware and conscious of his separate identity and individuality: he then questions if this awareness is a sign of adulthood. 

We hope that this answer solves your query.
Regards.

My mind was really mine means the thoughts he had were no more influenced by others, he could think on his own, he could take his decisions by his own
