Children at certain ages have distinct actions, and boys at certain ages have a particular way of acting too.

If you watch young children play, you will notice that they create games, characters, situations, whole worlds in which they immerse themselves with intense concentration.

Kids are different from adults. They are not as developed as far as brain science, controlling impulses, and maturity, and fall prey to all kinds of pressures.

Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.

Still, most of those effects occur in the context of harmless play and it is patently obvious that children are not normally turned into aggressive little monsters by TV or video games, since most children do not become aggressive little monsters.

Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young.

We will move from looking at correlations between brain activity and behaviour to studying how the brain causes mental states and behaviour.

Kids love watching adults act like children. It's that spirit they can relate to.

Situational variables can exert powerful influences over human behavior, more so that we recognize or acknowledge.

Children are trained to think linearly instead of imaginatively; they are taught to read slowly and carefully, and are discouraged from daydreaming. They are trained to reduce the use and capacity of their brain.
