Dealing with kids is your interactions, as an adult, with children. Usually it has a slightly negative connotation since the phrase ‘dealing with’ implies a lack of desire to do something. Most people who would say they ‘deal with kids’ do not like children.
If someone were to become better at dealing with kids, maybe they would choose to have children. Perhaps being able to deal with kids would help someone’s professional life if it means they can have good interactions with their coworkers’ and boss’ children.
I’ m not sure what the topic question is since the topic is not a question, but my best advice about dealing with kids is to not take them too seriously. I think sometimes it can be frustrating to deal with kids because they are so spontaneous and absent-minded. If you just don’t care about getting certain points across or coming to conclusions, then kids are a lot more fun.
