CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In stage 3 (months 4 through 8), infants begin to explore the impact of their behaviors on the environment. In stage 4 (months 8 through 12), infants purposefully carry out goal‐directed behaviors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coordination of Reactions (8-12 months) During this substage, the child starts to show clearly intentional actions. The child may also combine schemas in order to achieve a desired effect. Children begin exploring the environment around them and will often imitate the observed behavior of others.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sensorimotor stage typically takes place within the first two years of a child’s life. It is marked by the child discovering the difference between themselves and their environment. At that point, they will use their senses to learn things about both themselves and their environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Preoperational Thinking Sometime between 18-24 months, children enter Piaget’s second stage-the preoperational stage. This stage, which lasts from about 2 to about 6-years-old, is the time during which children learn to use symbols and representational thinking, such as language.

Detailed explanation-5: -The symbolic function substage occurs between 2 and 4 years of age and is characterized by gains in symbolic thinking, in which the child is able to mentally represent an object that is not present, and a dependence on perception in problem solving.
