Chapter 9 post 1

While I read chapter 9, I looked at the ages that this was talking about and its my sons age developmental group. I started to relate some of what I see with him to what I was reading in the book more than I normally do because my son is 4. I found it interesting the topic of theory-theory with this age. My son came home from school and was trying to explain what he did at school and all he thought about was snack and play time while they were doing their lessons for the day. He started to describe to me the colors he saw and the things he heard like his teacher talking to the other kids just to explain what he did at school. I learned that he is starting to become his own person with his own mind. He told me that he loves playing with blocks and building which I found quite interesting because he never really was into it till he started school again. He just explained what was going through his mind while he was learning all this new and exciting information. Kids at this age are pretty interesting because they don't fully understand the world but they are understanding on how the world works. This age is quite perfect in a sense. They don't really understand what talking back means and they do what you ask them to and they are always learning something new. At our age, we question every little decision we make like what to have for dinner or even what to watch on TV but for kids they know what they like and what they don't for food and they mainly watch shows that look fun and have exciting colors. My son loves peanut butter and jelly and that is always what he wants for dinner no matter what I am having for dinner. He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse because of the colors and its fun. We don't make decisions like that anymore because we just ask too many questions about what it is or if it actually good enough to watch on television. Kids seem to have it much easier then we do.
