And the child/adult thing would be good. I think that the parent thing would be a little too confusing for the game makers, but I think that any adult can console a child and get parenting points. Maybe the child could gain a tiny bit of skill too. You need to have good parents to be a good parent!

The whole idea is good because it adds life to the game. Perhaps when playing tag, a child could fall and skin his/her knee. Then they would cry and an adult (parent or doctor) could come and patch up the wound. (I think that Kelila's first story section shows the idea.)
