Assignment 5

Piaget’s theory of cognitive development is developed around infants discovering their environment and their surroundings. Both parents and their surrounding environment play a huge part in the development of a child. A child will also teach themselves with the guidance from their parents. The child is going to try new things and test the limits which increases their cognitive development. This could be the reason researchers have concerns about too much emphasis being placed on cognitive development. We don’t want the child to be overwhelmed with everything and we don’t want to push them so far that they get so frustrated with themselves they quit.
