Now imagine your little kit waving to you behind the windows. You want to kick his butt because he broke your brand new television set. You cant go in your car because he pushes on the lock button so you can't turn the key. To make things wurse your kid is trying to play with the root engine but he can't get the engine to start. Enabeling the ssh root is like having the remote car key that opens every door at once so you can get in to kick his butt :)
