Converting from Child Time to Adult Time            

For all you adults out there, this is a table which converts from child  time to adult time. For example 3 months for a child ( age 2)  feels like 5 years to an adult ( age 40).  In children's services, procedures often call for things to happen in 3 or 6 month increments. This may seem short to an adult. But it's not short for a child. This table could be included in policy material affecting children where time requirements apply. It could be posted on the walls of courtrooms.

The formula behind this chart is very simple: Adult time = adult age divided by child age times child time.( This chart also explains of course the well known phenomenon that we have all experienced of time "speeding up" as we get older.)
