Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind.

Some kidults collect toys they once played with such as Hello Kitty, Garfield.Other kidults still enjoy childrens stories and fairy tales.

Child-like emotion(情感) may be needed in such a hard society,” said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap(代沟) between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, cartoon shows and movies to enjoy together.Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They stick to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city make them scared. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood. “So, they can keep away from busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said.24.
