Assignment 5

Piagets theory has four stages. The first and second stages are the primary circular reactions. The parents have little control in this stage because it is based on the babies senses and motor skills. The baby primarily relies on reflexive assimilation. Stages three and four are when the baby interacts with people and objects. So when it comes to teaching the infant the parents have no control. The baby is the teacher. Researchers may have a problem with parents pushing their children too hard at an early age. This could cause more damage than good. The child could feel overwhelmed.

i agree with your statements. it has to do alot with both nature and nurture

I think that the child could get overwhelmed by the overstimulation of pushy parents as well.

i agree with the child getting overwhelmed at an early age.

I don't think overwhelming makes a whole lot of difference. I think nature plays a bigger part in earlier development than nurture.

i also agree with you all the way. because it does have soething to do with the nature and also nurture as they are growing up at a young age.
