Why do kids like picnics?

Picnics give time for self-reflection.

Just like children need time to develop social skills, children also need time alone to reflect on their surroundings and who they are. ... Picnics offer more peaceful and (relatively) distraction-free environments, so opportunities for meditation and self-reflection are optimal.
