Anecdotally, children making "children noises" is calming for me.

It was not until after I was a parent myself though. Like many things in life, once I had the connection in my own personal life, it is now very easy and automatic for me to empathize and support other children. It feels deep, like more an automatic response.

Can't exactly remember how I reacted to children noises before I had kids myself. But I must admit that nowadays noise from other kids makes me smile because 'not my problem'.

Hehe, excellent point. Parenthood helped teach me the pleasure of the absence of stress.
