Seeing all the replies above...is no one going to mention Piaget? Okay, I'll allow that not everyone has studied psychology or developmental psychology or teaching, but, apart from mommy blogs and memories, I'd argue that looking up the developmental stages of childhood help provide a good framework for how kids think and act (and the milestones they typically would be reaching by X age).

It's the kind of thing that's helpful in figuring out how (again, typically) a kid's speech pattern would be (provided they're exposed to human contact and conversation) and even behaviors! And behaviors you might find in kids who haven't had a typical situation. Developmental psych and textbooks on teaching (esp. different age groups -- because what a kid can understand or process, and how they understand it and process it is influenced by whichever period/stage in their development, in addition to environmental factors that influence said development, amongst others) are available online. For free. So are articles, and different research/case studies etc.

What I'm saying is, unless there's a reason for it, I don't like it when people write 7 to 10 year old kids still using baby talk and the like. And as far as a nap at 7 years old, I was in first grade -- there were no naps-- at least not in my school.

All this to say, research! I hope this might have been helpful for anyone who had been toying with the idea of writing kids in a story but wasn't sure where to look/what to google (piaget's theory of development/ you can check out Erikson too, but Piaget is the most well known/used)

Be careful with Erikson.He subscribed to the 'autism is down to poor mothering' bollocks.

AYRT

Yeah, good point -- i mentioned him as he is brought up, but most modern understanding of development is based off of Piaget. So, if I could edit - strike out Erikson! Thanks for the catch!
