Many people treat kids like inferior beings, using "cute" voice, not giving them a chance to say their word, make a decision and such. Do you think such behavior might bring harm to the development of their personality, and they should be instead treated like adults, but just less experienced, so with understanding and patience?
I think they must treated as normal children for it accurates their age. At tgeir young age, they must be treated as their age for them to enjoy life as kids. Let's allow them to play and enjoy their lives as kids for there will come a time that they will reach the age of being adult.
