My impression of what is the difference between children and adults is the following:

Children aren't hurt by strong language, 'adult topics' or even 'obscenitities'. They like them instead, much more than adults want to realize.

What children are hurt by is any lack of love - much more than adults are able to realize.

You can use strong language, talk about 'adult topics' and even be 'obscene' with or without love. That is difficult to adults because they don't know the difference - most of them have even forgotten what love is. But children still know that.

What adults know instead is how to be offended. Children only know how to be frightened, but that's not the same.

One of the sayings I invented (dont't blame me of being too modest ;)) is: You can't help getting old but there is more than one trick to avoid getting adult.

Love.(Period)
