These stages have nothing to do with an increase or decrease of brain cells. They have nothing to do with I.Q. or mental activity. The stages shift without warning or reason. Why? Because our kids tell us so, that's why.

Stage I Is probably our lowest ebb. We have an infant in our home and we don't know anything, but it doesn't matter because the infant knows even less. Therefore, the infant's eyes follow us everywhere. We can stick out a finger and the kid will hang onto it without even questioning why. It's the best of both worlds.

Stage II occurs when the infant is about two years old. We are approaching our Oral Roberts plateau. We heal just by touching lips to a finger. We mend books with magic and replace a doll's head with the skill of a surgeon. We are on a roll.

You don't remember what you promised.

You don't remember being a child. You're repetitious, boring and are incapable of doing anything except listen in on private phone conversations and say, "I only punish you because I love you." The biggest change comes two years later at Stage VI. Parents are vegetables! Children begin to refer to them in the third person, anticipating their inability to comprehend anything.
