Answer 2

You have a good aura. This is a special 'atmosphere' surrounding a person. Very few people have it. Also, kids are intelligent. They can tell who's good and who's not. So be glad for this specialness.

Answer 3

Kids... are KIDS, they are innocent, vulnerable and naive. They dont require a long introduction to like someone. In real life you probably look like a true adult, you may even possibly some what look like someone who deserves a lot of respect or authority. The children look at you with their little eyes as though you are an administrator, almost like a policeman. Some may even be afraid of you. You also are probably very kind. Keep what you are doing, children are the worlds greatest gift to humanity, even though they can be the worlds biggest pain in the **** in some moments.

Answer 4

They must sense something about you that is positive that they are missing from their parents.  It could be that they are more open to you because you are unlike there parents...more nurturing and easy to talk to.  Seems like to me that you picked the right career....kids need positive male role models.

Answer 5

probably because you are not drunk.

Answer 6

you probably just have a very gentle presence the the kids feel safe around.
