Although I didn't have the chance to interact with the children as I imagined, I did have the chance to observe them firsthand, which is always a plus for anyone who studies human behavior and interaction. Some of the kids who participated in the show were technically in the pre-adolescent stage of their development. They were between the ages of 8 and 12, which is a time when the body begins to mature internally to prepare for the more intense stages of puberty and adolescence. It was interesting to see how these older kids interacted with their peers and parents compared to the younger kids. I thought about the differences in the minds of adults compared to the brains of children and adolescents as everyone prepared. I remember looking at them and thinking about how different life would soon be for them. Through observation, I saw how older kids used concrete operational thinking to keep up with their schedules and be ready in time for fashion, while also helping their younger siblings and friends do the work.
