CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Babies do not think like adults, as their brains are still developing up to the age of six. 90% of neural connections are made before the age of three, with the remaining 10% occurring between the ages of three and six. However, while they may not think like an older person, babies think from the time they are born.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. Around age 6, children start to change the way they think about the world. They leave behind the preschooler’s egocentric thinking and start to learn more mature ways of understanding. A typical first-grader is able to perform simple addition and subtraction.

Detailed explanation-3: -From 18 – 24 months, toddlers are in the Beginnings of Thought stage. This is when toddlers typically learn symbolic thought and begin pretend play. They begin to understand that one thing can represent another. For example, a block can be a cell phone or a paper plate could be a pie.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cognitive Development As a toddler, your child will be developing in these ways: Finds objects moved out of sight. Engages in make believe play activities; talking to themselves and copying others. Sorts objects into categories.
