What is the difference between "time" in children's eyes and "time" in parents' eyes?

We will say "hurry up, hurry up" when urging our children, and say "immediately, immediately" when responding to their urging. Before going to bed at night, I will say "It's late, I'm going to bed". Before getting up in the morning, I will say "Get up soon, it's 7 o'clock". When we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, we will say, "You are one year older!" " ..... When we communicate with children, most of them contain the concept of time. Although children often turn a deaf ear, they will eventually understand what time is and form a regular life in the reminders from around them day after day. In other words, successful education is from passively accepting other people's time arrangements to forming their own active control over time.

Time itself is also a rich theme, and mathematics, art, physics, literature and even science fiction are all explaining time with their own knowledge. From the moment of birth, we are connected with time, and then we have to adjust our perception of it for a lifetime. When I was a child, time was very simple, probably equal to the clock on the wall. When the time is up, I can finish class, finish my studies and spend my summer vacation. When I grow up, I find that time is a mystery, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, which always affects stories related to memory and the future. No matter how accurate the clock is, it can't unify our feelings about time.

May every child, in every year of growing up, have more active control over time. The following is the book list of this issue.

Time in children's eyes has nothing to do with him, but a baton in adults' hands.

Children gain a sense of time through intuition and games. In the next four books, you will see four interesting stories. Children in every story have their own understanding of time, but uniqueness is not a physical explanation of time.

In the eyes of adults, time is the world order that children will eventually learn.
