Wouldn't you like to return to those endless summers of our childhood? Or to eternity that was a year? That today we perceive that our summers pass in the blink of an eye or that birthdays arrive every time before can have a psychic basis.
Time "lasts longer" in childhood, we perceive that it passes more slowly when we are children Although obviously it is about our perception, since time passes constantly and continuously.
The discovery of the unknown, the constant experience of new experiences, in childhood make time go more slowly. When we grow up, the news is less, everything becomes more familiar, it is more difficult for something to surprise us, so we have the feeling that everything happens faster.
In an article by Adam Dachis, entitled “Why are new experiences important, and how do they positively affect the perception of time?” (Why New Experiences Are Important, and How They Positively Affect Your Perception of Time?) The reason why time "moves" faster as we get older is our brain's way of processing information.
In childhood, new experiences require more time for our brain to process information, causing the pleasant sensation that time stops.
If we add to this the lack of knowledge, during the first years of life, of the temporal structuring in minutes, hours, weeks, months or years, it is logical that the perception of time is slower in childhood.
How to do then that in our adulthood time does not "pass" so quickly: live new experiences. I don't know, travel and vacations continue to fly by me… But I attest that my daughters, at the end of the day, seem to have only spent a couple of hours since they got up, because of the energy they retain .
