CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Babies from birth to 2 years of age use their senses and bodily movements to understand the world around them, which is why this stage is known as the sensorimotor stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the first two years of life, children in their sensorimotor stage will use the skills that they are born with – such as grasping and sucking reflexes – to explore their surroundings and gain an understanding of their world.

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: -The sensorimotor stage is composed of six sub-stages and lasts from birth through 24 months. The six sub-stages are reflexes, primary circular reactions, secondary circular reactions, coordination of reactions, tertiary circular reactions, and early representational thought.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stage 3. Secondary circular reactions (infants between 4 and 8 months). Infants repeat actions that involve objects, toys, clothing, or other persons. They might continue to shake a rattle to hear the sound or repeat an action that elicits a response from a parent to extend the reaction.
