Kids are still kids ... aren't they? A 5 year old kid in 1940 is the same as a 5 year old in 2006??? It's not like we are evolving that quickly. The attitude of the child has not changed, the attitude of the adult has.
I agree that today's 5 year old kid is no different than his or her 1940 vintage grandparents were at that age.
However,
interests do change and an airplane flying by, no longer mesmerizes kids like it did in 1940.
Granted today's youngsters may look up at it, but for most of them; their interest is at best casual, and short lived.
Regarding your statement "the attitude of the child has not changed, the attitude of the adult has"; I agree.
The trouble is; the child has a tendency to grow up, and when that happens their attitude does in deed, change! I think it's called "maturity".
BTW - in your previous post; what's a "Pubic" entity?
