Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A simple and concrete example of this is when we help children learn to ride a bicycle-first with training wheels, then as we hold the bicycle steady for them (with some verbal coaching as well), and finally without any help, as children ride independently.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory (1934/1986) maintains that children’s private speech is used for self-direction and that this language is the foundation for later complex mental activity.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, a child might be shown pennies to represent each sound in a word (e.g., three pennies for the three sounds in “man”). To master this word, the child might be asked to place a penny on the table to show each sound in a word, and finally the child might identify the sounds without the pennies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vygotsky’s social development theory asserts that a child’s cognitive development and learning ability can be guided and mediated by their social interactions. His theory (also called Vygotsky’s Sociocultural theory) states that learning is a crucially social process as opposed to an independent journey of discovery.
