Kids are not children, and indeed, never have been. They have power. Children have none. Kids have dethroned, not only children, but also their elders. Kids are knowing.
Kids know adult secrets.
They know about sex and power, they know about fun and money. Children played games, child's play. Kids play video-games, kids' stuff. Kids are miniature and premature adults, children were stunted in postures of permanent obedience. Kids have been called forth by the market.
