Children live in a reality of wonderment, excitement, zest for life and belief in magical abilities and we rob them of that by ascribing our personal experiences and belief systems onto them which have no bearing on the reality that they live in.  In interviews, 85% of 4-year-olds said that they believed in Santa, 65% of 6-year-olds said that they believed, and 25% of 8-year-olds said that they believed. Kids brains are larger than adult brains based on proportion, about 130 % larger! Children live on their own kind of “brainwave.” Their brains see and hear things that they understand.
