Whilst I did more new things in my 20s, I do recall my perception of days as a child being much much longer. I have distinct recollection of feeling almost clinical depression when I was about 8 after being told that we would be going to the seaside tomorrow and not today. To a childs perception of time, it was an agonizing eternity.

Children run on “sleeps” and eventually weeks - a single day is such a large percentage of their life, after all!

And each year is new, even if just teachers changing; but most have new things you can do.
