I did this but honestly in hindsight it didn’t tell me a lot. Two reasons come to mind:

1. Watching other peoples’ kids is a time-limited exercise. A major challenge with your own kids is that it’s constant and effectively without end.

2. There’s a big difference between kids and MY kids. I just have more intrinsic interest in my own. I do have more “tools” available to me to engage with others’ kids now (up to my own kids’ ages at least) but I care less. Not saying I dislike others’ kids, just that it’s different.
