upon finding out he’s the avatar, we see aang being expected to learn, train, perfect his airbending techniques, and pressured to do this by the other monks. the news of his avatarship, to give it a name, result in him being isolated from his peers, having only these people who are constantly chasing after him for him to become a child soldier as soon as possible, with the best intentions in mind, but still pressuring. so it comes to a point where aang can only turn to gyatso to be a child again. he cannot play with his peers anymore; he’s expected, as a master and the avatar, to behave more like an adult every day. but with gyatso, aang can play boardgames, he can make pies, he can vent, he can find a shelter and a safe space to act his age and trust an adult to do the same. gyatso values aang’s status as a child as much as, maybe even more than, aang’s status as an airbending master and the avatar. and unknowingly, he passes on those values and beliefs to aang.

so aang runs away, gets caught in a storm, wakes up completely alone except for two kids more or less of his age who act so much like how adults are expected to act, and he’s just like, this is wrong. so he takes katara penguin sledding, so katara can play with aang, she can have fun with aang, she can have a safe space to act her age around aang. and he continues to crack sokka out of his chell and encourage him to have fun, and he continues to wonder if zuko can have friends, can be better, if zuko even has a safe space to be child. so while yes, katara had sokka to shelter some of her hope and somewhat childhood innocence, sokka’s idea of masculinity and adulthood is deeply flawed thanks to isolation and a lack of perspective, and zuko may have the support of iroh to be able to act his age around him, but it’s not a space he understands. so katara still has the weight of a culture on her back, sokka has katara and his entire tribe, zuko is literally a trained soldier since he was thirteen. aang, for a change, gives all of them the same space gyatso gave him to act their age and be the children the war and the adults around them didn’t allow them to be in the first place. aang reassures katara of what she already knew: her childhood was stolen from her and she deserves and wants to be a kid; aang gives sokka a new perspective on maturity and responsibility and introduces him to the idea of actual fun; aang inspires zuko enough to chase him all over the world which brings him to realize he is just a kid, and that he didn’t deserve all that cruelty and isolation. because aang wants to be a kid, and aang wants to take responsibility, and aang didn’t deserve all that isolation, and aang had gyatso. aang knows, these kids have no one but him.
