Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Children are not small adults and their understanding depends on their developmental stage. This means that we need to talk to children about what is happening at a level that is developmentally right for them.
Detailed explanation-2: -They breathe in more air per pound of body weight than adults do. They have thinner skin, and more of it per pound of body weight (higher surface-to-mass ratio). They have less fluid in their bodies, so fluid loss (e.g. dehydration, blood loss) can have a bigger effect on children.
