CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Piaget believed that children remain egocentric throughout the preoperational stage. This means they cannot understand that other people think in different ways to them or that events that take place are not always related to them.

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 the preoperational stage, a child’s thinking isself-centered, or egocentric.

Detailed explanation-3: -Piaget’s stage that coincides with early childhood is the Preoperational Stage. According to Piaget, this stage occurs from the age of 2 to 7 years. In the preoperational stage, children use symbols to represent words, images, and ideas, which is why children in this stage engage in pretend play.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Sensorimotor stage: Birth to 2 years. Preoperational stage: Ages 2 to 7. Concrete operational stage: Ages 7 to 11. Formal operational stage: Ages 12 and up.
