Focusing on visual perception, Bejan posits that slower processing times result in us perceiving fewer 'frames-per-second' – more actual time passes between the perception of each new mental image. This is what leads to time passing more rapidly.

There is also another angle. When you are a toddler, everything you encounter is brand new and exciting, your brain is sucking in new information constantly. There are so many stimulating events that time crawls because you have so many new things to remember. When i was in primary school, school holidays literally lasted an age

As you go through the education system and get your first job, get married, buy a house etc. You continue to have regular stimulation, so time will pass faster than as a kid. Get to 30+ and there is less and less new stimulation so time passes much faster
