Due to much hard work and good luck before starting our family, and specific choices afterwards, we are fortunate to be able to spend as much time as we want with our kid, and sometimes more time than our kid would prefer. Certainly this is not an option for many. In todays' world, it may escape the imagination of some. But it must take specific life experience to be so thoroughly prescriptive about family dynamics, when replying to a stranger who is talking about autofocus.

We have jus three children and five grandchildren - at the moment. I did work with toddlers and schoolchildren - and adults. for some decades.

I did not see any prescription of family dynamics in this discussion. Perhaps I just did not see it. At the moment I think that I do not want to think of any family dynamics.  I just spent a day with two grandchildren on the long Tulliniemi beach and they climbed some trees. I think they had fun.

Some kids run zig zag and some do not.

All guesses of family dynamics are usually nonsense. But I do recommend a camera with fast autofocus - usually normal children start to move fast to some directions . Very likely  sometimes to some direction you could not predict. Some children hate cameras and want to look as stupid as possible....

A good camera and good nerves help. Sometimes.
