Piaget developed the theory of stage development; he had based his theories on his children by carrying out detailed observations where he came up with four stages in each process. But he believed a child had to be at a certain age to learn something or they simply couldn’t learn it or know it. I believe he underestimated children’s abilities and knowledge. The first stage was called sensorimotor stage- in this stage children learnt through using their 5 senses, touch, taste, smell, seeing and hearing. He believe they understood that the objects or smell or what they could hear was there permanently or even for a short space of time but he still believed between the ages of 0-2 their main concerns are for themselves and no one else. They will get what they want no matter the consequences. I agree with this stage of development because babies and toddlers will cry and scream and shout until they can get what they want even though as they get older they do start to be told off for how they are reacting to being told no, but they do start to understand.
Preoperational stage is based on the ages between 2 and 7, they try to understand what things are and what causes what. As children get older they are constantly told to stay away from the fire, as they get older they realise the fire is associated with hot, pain and crying so they stay away from it. When the wind is blowing they can see the trees are moving side to side and think the trees are causing it. They don’t really understand the whole process of everything but you can understand the logic behind their thinking.
Concrete operational stage is the third stage in his theory. Between the ages of 7 and 11 years of age they want to know more and understand why things happen in more detail, they want to see the evidence
