Excellent points, David.   LOL  yeah I agree with you ... I’m sure that child would want to mature and not be stuck playing with the same boring toy(s).

My thoughts were on the mothers who have lost their babies or young children ... perhaps they would get their chance to see them grow up slowly during the Millennium Kingdom.

But like you said ... we will just have to wait and see.

The appearance of age is somewhat relative.  For my opinion, I don't think there will be any signs of decay or things we associate with aging, such as sagging skin, grey hair or receding hairlines, wrinkles, age spots, or the like.  When I was 21, I was told I looked quite a few years younger than what was typical.  Now, no one disputes I'm in my sixties.

Adam was created full grown, so I don't see an issue with an infant being given a mature body when the transformation happens.  Nevertheless, I also don't envision a problem with them growing into maturity gradually.  We'll have to wait and see how God handles things.

Will some children want to hold onto being that youthful perpetually?  Maybe, though I suspect that there, as with here, God's purpose is that they should grow into increasing levels of responsibility, and an adult body would be needed for that.  And a child should want to grow up; after all, how many times can you put the round pegs in the round holes before you have that concept mastered?
