Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some examples a child is at the preoperational stage include: imitating the way someone talks or moves even when they are not in the room. drawing people and objects from their own life but understanding they are only representations. pretending a stick is a sword or that a broom is a horse during play.

Detailed explanation-2: -The preoperational stage is a developmental phase in which kids learn to represent things in the mind. In this stage, kids start to engage in symbolic play and learn to manipulate symbols. Piaget noted that they do not yet comprehend concrete logic.

Detailed explanation-3: -The early preoperational period (ages 2-3) is marked by a dramatic increase in children’s use of the symbolic function. This is the ability to make one thing-a word or an object-stand for something other than itself. Language is perhaps the most obvious form of symbolism that young children display.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the preoperational stage, children also become increasingly adept at using symbols, as evidenced by the increase in playing and pretending. 1 For example, a child is able to use an object to represent something else, such as pretending a broom is a horse. Role-playing also becomes important at this age.

Detailed explanation-5: -’Preoperational period’ lasts around 2 to 6 or 7 years of age. In this stage, the child assumes that other people feel, see, and hear exactly the same as the child does. It refers to the child’s inability to infer the perspective of other people or to see a situation from other’s points of view.
