«This is my dad. It is very big». Danya, 5 years old Little children understand everything literally: they compare us with themselves and first of all talk about what they see. “These are people who are more than children. That is much higher.» Danya, 5 years old «They are so big, very big.» Marusya, 4 years old «An adult is someone who has grown up.» Alena, 7 years old Adults are larger not only in size, but also in what they have “in their heads.” “This is someone who knows more than me, and more himself.” Tanya, 6 years old «They can think faster than me.» Ignat, 7 years old
