Why do kids not need knee pads while crawling around on the floor?

861 viewsBiologyOther

I’ve got the flexibility and energy to crawl around with kids, but I need knee pads when it’s hard wood or tile floors. I just feel the hard surface scrape against the bones of my knees/ankles. Kids don’t seem to notice a difference. What is different about their knees that allows them to enjoy any kind of floor?

Don’t underestimate how much less a kid weighs than you do. Dramatically fewer pounds per square inch of pressure on those kneecaps.
