Do babies or toddlers know they will be adults someday?

Yea. No we hide it from them its not possible. We have to teach them about death, because its going to happen in family at some point. We teach everyday. tell him you will die one day. thats what I tell trash child.

Kids start developing their sense of self as babies when they see themselves through their parents' eyes. Your tone of voice, your body language, and your every expression are absorbed by your kids. Your words and actions as a parent affect their developing self-esteem more than anything else.

The "toddler" stage ends at about the age of three. The age when the average child becomes aware of the concept of "growing up" happens soon after that - usually between the age of five to seven. So - no - a baby or toddler does not understand the concept of being an adult someday.

Babies of course not ..... Toddlers over the age of 6 or 7 years probably do know .

Babies do not even know they are not part of their Mother.

No they don't.

No, they are living in the moment and do not have deep thoughts about their future (except when is the next meal).
