I'm not sure, but you seem to think that (1) all children are the same, and (2) all children are simply small adults. I know it's hard to believe, and I didn't fully grasp this until I had some of my own, but children are remarkably varied in many different ways -- compared to other kids, compared to adults, and compared to themselves (even on a minute-to-minute or hour-by-hour basis). As far as children being like small adults -- I think it's closer to the truth to consider them as small, temporarily insane adults-to-be.
