      Thinking of some of the ways in which young kids (say, a 7 year-old) experience reality radically differently from adults. Late stages of development (and memories of going through them) are full of important insights about cognition

      A big one is time. Our perception of time is shaped by the experience of long sequences of recurring markers, and a lack of that means kids don't have much temporal perspective. They live in the present, where hours stretch forever, and periods of years are inconceivable

      Another obvious difference is physical viewpoint. As a kid, you're a lot closer to the ground, and you perceive spaces as much larger. You're effectively living in a quite different physical space than the adults towering above you

      Another big one is presence and embodiment. The things you see and the things you don't see. Kids tend to be pretty focused on their immediate environment and the sensorimotor affordances it enables. Adult cognition is much more abstract and less embodied.

          Adults have their minds full of abstractions: other people and their mental states, future planning and worries, past memories... adults exist on a much wider plane, mostly made of non-things, or things that aren't here and now. They glaze over their surroundings.

          There's a quote by Alan Watts -- "this is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play". In that view, kids have life figured out. But then they forget.
