Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

"Kids" in this context does not mean its literal meaning, children. The speaker has used it to imply that the others are younger, more immature, or less experienced than he is. Ex. You kids don't know how hard it was when we were young. We had to walk ten miles every day just to get to school.
