Finally! Proof that kindergartners really do live in an alternate universe.
As my son bounded off the bus after his first day of kindergarten in September, I could hardly wait to hear everything he’d done. New school. New friends. New lunchroom. New teachers. His world had just undergone a massive shift from the four previous years of day care and preschool, and I was eager to hear all about it. But when I asked, “Hi! How was your first day!?” my typically motormouthed child was silent. His eyes went big. He looked away. Not even a “good,” or “fine,” was uttered.
And depending on their age, a child might not even be going back through those events in order of when they happened. Zoltán Nádasdy, a cognitive psychologist and neuroscientist who teaches at the University of Texas at Austin, has researched the differences in the ways adults and young children actually measure time—and he’s found a distinct divergence. For all humans, the concept of time is an elusive one.
