CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -You’ve probably noticed that your child thinks of one thing: themselves. That’s perfectly normal for this developmental stage. They want that drink NOW-not after you’ve finished throwing the laundry into the dryer. Egocentrism also means that your child assumes that you see, hear, and feel the same things they do.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Preoperational Stage Piaget noticed children in this stage use imaginative play to represent objects, and they build their conceptual knowledge through pretending and dramatic play. At around 4 years of age, they become more interested in social interactions and start to enjoy structured games with rules.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the preoperational stage, children use symbols to represent words, images, and ideas, which is why children in this stage engage in pretend play. A child’s arms might become airplane wings as she zooms around the room, or a child with a stick might become a brave knight with a sword.
