Hi Dave,
Here is a quote from an article by Jamie Andreas:
Quote:

Infants don't live in time. It doesn't exist. Their experience of time is one big "forever", and remains so until the child begins to grow and becomes increasingly aware of the phenomenon of motion around them. All of us became aware of the repetitious nature of our experience. It's light, it's dark, over and over. Mommy wakes us up, mommy puts us to sleep. Movement. Repetition. Rhythm. But no matter what is happening, no matter what "time" it is, to the child it is always "NOW". And that is why the child is capable of being intensely alive.

I highly recommend that
you read the whole article; it really helped me to understand this concept (scroll down to "Lost in Time").
Hope this helps,
Jacob
