In Piaget's theory there are six different stages that are involved. Some of the stages like the first two stages deal with nature. The child grasping, staring, and sucking do not have to do with parenting. Other stages like the third and fourth stage have to do with parenting. The fifth stage deals with apapting and anticipating something like playing patty cake with someone. One thing parents try to do is to push there children to learn some things that they just can't comprehend. A parent cannot teach there child to grasp there finger then they are 2 weeks old. I think when parents try to teach there kids too much and push them too hard they are taking away some fun out of their childhood. Children have their own speed in which they can catch on to things and there is no reason for a parent to push there kid hard to try and make them more advanced.
