Ask the question of "What children's mind tell us about love, truth and the meaning of life"
Professor of Psychology at UC Berkeley
Internationally known for her studies in children's learning and development.

In one of her interviews with NPR, http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112481229
she indicated that...
...even 7-month-olds already understand something about the fact that when someone reaches for a toy, for instance, that they want the toy. And by the time they're 18 months, they know something about what will make other people happy or not so happy.


So These Faces Are Thinking...


Having Fun and Getting Into Everything are "Working."
