I believe that one of the most distinct differences would definitely be the level of difficulty in the things that we learn versus children. Children would learn the basic skills, but when it comes to adults we have to actually delve into the details and the tips and tricks, you know, for instance communication skills. As children we’re exposed to develop our communication skills by interacting with a fellow friend at school or basic conversations, but when it comes to adults we actually learn to read. Things that we need to work on when we communicate with others on a professional level, the manners, the vocabulary, the way we speak is very important. The details that we have to learn wouldn’t be the same as what children would have to learn. Other than that it would definitely also be the appropriateness of the experience.

I believe that one of the most distinct differences would definitely be the level of difficulty in the things that we learn versus what children learn. Children learn basic skills, but when it comes to adults, we have to delve into the details and the tips and tricks. For instance, communication skills. As children, we're exposed to developing our communication skills by interacting with friends at school or through basic conversations. However, as adults, we learn to read and understand what we need to work on when we communicate with others on a professional level: the manners, the vocabulary, and the way we speak are very important. The details we have to learn are not the same as what children learn. Additionally, it would also be the appropriateness of the experience.
