For decades, there has been this assumption that children played and adults didn't. That's rubbish.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's this assumption that all children have the luxury of a childhood where their innocence is always respected and their main occupation is pleasant play - at the age of 18 or 21, they are then thrust into the real world and shown its uglier side, but not before.
Children are not children. They are just younger people.
It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age.
For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
Play is the work of childhood.
It's a mistake to try to use play to deliberately foster developmental progress.
I didn't play with other children.
To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They've got their heads screwed on a lot better.
I would not have so many scripts being driven by demographics. The play's the thing - not the 18-35 year old male age group.
Play is the work of children. It's very serious stuff.
