Document Summary

So let"s look at (cid:449)h(cid:455) (cid:449)e are a(cid:272)tuall(cid:455) looki(cid:374)g at stud(cid:455)i(cid:374)g (cid:272)hildre(cid:374). A(cid:374)d it"s (cid:448)er(cid:455) diffi(cid:272)ult to figure out (cid:449)h(cid:455) adults speak, (cid:449)h(cid:455) hu(cid:373)a(cid:374)s de(cid:448)elop spee(cid:272)h i(cid:374) adult, it"s alread(cid:455) happe(cid:374)ed, so (cid:449)he(cid:374) (cid:449)e stud(cid:455) (cid:272)hildre(cid:374), (cid:449)e (cid:272)a(cid:374) see it as it"s actually happening. And these allow us to see the brain structures and the e(cid:374)(cid:448)iro(cid:374)(cid:373)e(cid:374)tal (cid:272)o(cid:373)po(cid:374)e(cid:374)ts that fa(cid:272)ilitate that de(cid:448)elop(cid:373)e(cid:374)t. it"s also (cid:448)er(cid:455) i(cid:373)porta(cid:374)t to understand children for making laws. And the government can use these kinds of theories, these are not just opinions, but these are based in fact. They modify social policy and governmental decisions in courts to help with even child custody battles, all kinds of things that can come out of this kind of research. And the other reason why we stud(cid:455) (cid:272)hildre(cid:374) is (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause the(cid:455)"re so (cid:373)u(cid:272)h fu(cid:374). And some of them are really really hilarious. So i reall(cid:455) hope (cid:455)ou"re goi(cid:374)g to e(cid:374)jo(cid:455) those (cid:272)lips.
