Assignment 5

Piaget's theory implies that nature is a big factor in the development of children, that it happens naturally, and parenting plays a small role in the infancy. During the first stage, children learn through their own bodies, therefore parents want to try to 'teach' children through that way. It is not until stage three that the child starts to associate with objects and people, or elicit pleasureable responses to stimuli. Researchers could possible be concerned because of how much parents are attempting to teach their children during imfancy. According to Piaget, children all develop basically the same way in about the same time table.

I agree that according to Piaget's theory, parenting plays a small role in the development of the child. In turn, children do basically learn and explore through their bodies as a medium.

I agree. Parents attempt to teach their children during infancy and they all develop around the same time
