I think those are great -- a wonderful way to introduce children to live performance. That's how I got my love of theater -- my parents used to take me to children's theater.
Based on your original post... you came off that way. Probably not intentionally, but it's only been through 5 or 6 notes that you've explained your point of view in a way that doesn't come off as angry and, possibly, anti-child.
That's funny, because I wrote nearly the identical text (re: whose problem it is, imposition, etc.) in a thread on Customers of Size and was thanked for being courteous and sensitive. It seems that whenever the subject of children's behavior on planes comes up, there's a very distinct line drawn in the sand and things usually turn rather hostile. I'm rather amazed that hasn't been the case in this thread -- perhaps I was just over-anticipating.
