    There is one phrase that every child dreads hearing come out of an adult’s mouth, and that is that they’re too young to play with a certain toy, perform a task or have a bedtime later than 7:30 p.m. I know from personal experience that being told that as a young kid, who sees the world as their oyster, can be tough to hear, if not downright disappointing.
