The main one is that they are still in love with you, meaning that you will be a bit easier. Furthermore, at this age, kids enjoy performing various skills with the help of their parents. Hence, whether it is learning how to sew or fish, their pleasure is hanging out with dad or mum and doing grown-up things.
