This is how kids realize their full potential as adults. Let the kids be themselves. 

What kind of kid were you? How does that affect who you are now? 
“I thank my grandfather a lot because, growing up, I did not have many friends, so I remembered my granddad having this room in his house filled with junk. Old computers, crazy clothing — everything you could imagine. It was almost like my ‘Barney bag,’ and I would go in this room every day after school and create anything I wanted. One day, I would be a nurse; the other day, I would be a dancer. I would just be who I wanted to be in this room. It allowed me to express myself. I remember this one time where I took a red tablecloth, equivalent to a red curtain in a theater, and nailed it to the ceiling. And then, I had a dresser, and I stood on it with a shining light, and I put on a Broadway play in this room for my granddad. Moments like this allowed me to know I was special.”
