Do kids hate speeches?

Some kids hate speeches; some do not. It all depends on the personality of the child and the charisma of the speaker. For example, you would be hard pressed to find a child that would enjoy a long-winded politician drone on about the government's finances. However, am animated, lively, and engaging representative from Toys R Us talking about the entertainment business is bound to capture any kid's attention. Most children lack the attention span needed to fully grasp the purpose and meaning behind speeches, so, in way, kids do hate speeches, but if you have the right speaker, you can capture just about anyone's attention.
