A general rule when writing is the balance between the efficiency of your writing (Showing not telling, subtext, implications) and the confidence you have in your readers intellegence.

This is where, when writing, you need to pick the expected mental age of the reader.

If you're writing for an adult, don't treat them like a child. Allow for personal inferance and pull from the life experience of your reader. You don't need to tell them the house has a roof or there were trees in the forest. They already know that.

But at the same time, if you're writing for younger audiences, it's important to know that they dont have the same experience to pull from. Maybe they don't know the difference between water in a lake and in the ocean.

It's important that when writing, you should always know who you're writing for, don't write too much or too little.
