CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Most children become self centered at about 2 1/2 years of age. Infants prefer to look a human faces rather than toys or other objects. In order to learn well and establish the greatest number of neural pathways, babies must be provided with a wide range of educational toys.

Detailed explanation-2: -The preoperational stage occurs from 2 to 6 years of age, and is the secondstage in Piaget’s stages of cognitive development. Throughout most of thepreoperational stage, a child’s thinking is self-centered, or egocentric.

Detailed explanation-3: -Are all toddlers a little obsessed with themselves? The short answer is yes. Self-centeredness spikes in the second year, and many of the more difficult behaviors that are associated with toddlerhood (including self-centeredness) are really just byproducts of your child’s normal, healthy development.

Detailed explanation-4: -From a developmental perspective, having a “self-only” focus shifts toward a “self-and-others” focus as we age and our brains mature. Some research suggests that our abilities to control impulses, make decisions and think in a less self-centered way occurs between the ages of 6 and 13.

Detailed explanation-5: -At 2-3 years, you can expect strong feelings, tantrums, pretend play and independence. Toddlers are developing new skills in many areas, including language, thinking and movement. Development activities include talking and listening, reading, playing outdoors, playing with others and cooking together.
