Coming to an understanding

So today started and i was in full swing of things. Living this intervention to the core but jeepers it has most definitely been the hardest day so far.  Sticking to the core attitude and idea of being a ten year old. Annoying people, helping them dealing with my emotions, thinking boys have cooties, not doing anything on my own.
Going back in time and trying to delve into how i was when i was younger is such a mission. So with the help of a few readings based on understanding child development i hope to get better insight before i go to my cousins school tomorrow.

Sean Brotherson, Family Science Specialist, states in his publication that, 
"The development of a child's brain holds the key to the child's future. Although the "first years last forever" in terms of the rapid development of young children's brains, the actual first years of a child's life go by very quickly. So touch, talk, read, smile, sing, count and play with your children. It helps a child's brain develop and nourishes the child's potential for a lifetime."

So from when a child is born to about the age of 18 a child is still developing however emotionally and mentally we are all still learning. In relation to this project i am learning how to let go and relax and maybe just be a child again. 

A child development Guide: 9- 10 by Washington state department of Social and Health Services gives a layout on what to expect from your child at the age of 10.
