Chapter 9.

While reading through chapter 9, I was interested in the topic of theory-theory when it came to young children. It means that children develop their own theories to explain the things that they see and hear, even if they don't truly understand it. At that age, it amazes me that children are so fascinated with life, in a sense, for they create their own theories and stories for whatever is happening around them. It makes us understand why children ask so many questions on a regular basis, not because it's annoying, but because they want to absorb all of their surroundings. In a way, they are finally beginning to key into their world, which is probably why they might have something to say about any subject that might come up in casual conversation. They won't know all of the answers yet, but they are starting to understand the world around them. Sometimes, it might cause us to try to remember those days, where we didn't really see the world for what it was, or we didn't quite understand the various things going on all the time. Even today, we still question everything, but for children that young that don't truly know everything, they really seem to be the innocent ones. It is amazing to witness what goes through a child's mind, and how they view things differently than we do.
