Yeah, so a lot of times I think about a couple of different factors as changing. The first is how concrete you are. So as kids get older, you can tend to focus less on what you hear and see right in front of you, and you can talk about things more abstractly. That changes as kids develop and as they're able to think more in the abstract.
And younger children, you can also think abstractly, but oftentimes you want to start from something that you see right in front of you, just like I was talking about the mummies in the past. Similarly, you can also do more predicting and going back into the past, remembering, especially with older children. So you can go kind of further and further out into the future and the past.

Whereas with younger children, you tend to stick more to things that were more immediate, because they're more in their closer memories. But at the same time, you can always think about trying to stretch a child to see how they react. And if they seem like this is out of their comprehension or too difficult, you can always cut it down.

Yes, I've noticed that as well in my work. And I think there's a couple of things going on. One is that when kids are with their friends or even with siblings, there is this sense of either competition or wanting to impress or even being embarrassed to share things that they don't feel embarrassed to share with an adult.

So I do think it can be so important to have one-on-one time with a child, even if you have multiple children, not necessarily every day if it's not possible, but at least once in a while to really get a sense of what's on their mind, what they might not want to tell other kids or might not feel comfortable sharing.

Yes, I think one thing that I see a lot and what I think can be damaging over time is really this projecting of what we want our children to be or who we wanted to be as a child onto our children.

So for example, a child really doesn't want to continue playing this sport, or they really aren't a person who's very energetic in the morning, or they really aren't someone who needs to have a lot of friends to be happy.
