This highlights how different we all are.
I could never work with a separate space. (My kids do all have their own rooms to go to, though) My own kids would just follow me there. I love having everyone together in a group environment.
That is not to say I would mind having a "toy room" I could just shut the door on at the end of the day, but it would have to be connected to my regular home space.
