CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Imagine a game of peek-a-boo, for example. A very young infant will believe that the other person or object has actually vanished and will act shocked or startled when the object reappears.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sensorimotor stage is the first of the four stages of Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. It is marked by a child’s knowledge that the outside world exists separately from themselves. Once the child has fully realized this, they will move on to the next stage within Piaget’s stages of development.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 4. Coordination of secondary circular reactions (infants between 8 and 12 months). At this stage, infants’ behavior becomes goal-directed in trying to reach for an object or finding a hidden object indicating they have achieved object permanence.

Detailed explanation-4: -The second substage is the stage of primary circular reactions. The baby will repeat pleasurable actions centred on its own body. For example, babies from 1 – 4 months old will wiggle their fingers, kick their legs and suck their thumbs. These are not reflex actions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Piaget said that this stage begins at birth and lasts for around the first two years of a child’s life. During this time, it is thought that children learn about their environment through movement, touch, and other early actions such as looking, listening, and sucking.
