CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -During this stage (toddler through age 7), young children are able to think about things symbolically. Their language use becomes more mature.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Preoperational Stage of Cognitive Development This stage begins around age two and lasts until approximately age seven. During this period, children are thinking at a symbolic level but are not yet using cognitive operations. The child’s thinking during this stage is pre (before) operations.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ages 2 through 6 are the early childhood years, or preschool years. Like infants and toddlers, preschoolers grow quickly-both physically and cognitively.

Detailed explanation-4: -Piaget referred to the cognitive development occurring between ages 2 and 7 as the preoperational stage. In this stage, children increase their use of language and other symbols, their imitation of adult behaviors, and their play.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
