CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -During the early stages, according to Piaget, infants are only aware of what is right in front of them. They focus on what they see, what they are doing, and physical interactions with their immediate environment. Because they don’t yet know how things react, they’re constantly experimenting.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensorimotor stage (0–2 years old) Preoperational stage (2–7 years old) Concrete operational stage (7–11 years old) Formal operational stage (11 years old through adulthood)

Detailed explanation-3: -The Sensorimotor Stage During this earliest stage of cognitive development, infants and toddlers acquire knowledge through sensory experiences and manipulating objects. A child’s entire experience at the earliest period of this stage occurs through basic reflexes, senses, and motor responses.

Detailed explanation-4: -The concrete operational stage (7–11 years) Children also become able to apply logical, concrete rules to physical objects. However, they cannot yet do the same thing for abstract concepts.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the preoperational stage, children use symbols to represent words, images, and ideas, which is why children in this stage engage in pretend play.
