Assignment 5
Piaget's theory of infant development is where nature and the surrounding environment play a huge part in the development of a child. Parents also have a role but is it not as big as nature. Within the first stage infants learn from themselves and their bodies. The third stage they start to interact with people and start to realize what certain objects do. Final stage is where they start to become the little scientist, meaning they want to explore and are curious about everything. If children develop faster than normal, they might miss out on certain that could come in handy when they become adults. All children develop the same way but at different rates. One might child might be in the third stage while his or her friends are still in the first two, it takes time for children to develop. As for the parents, I think that they should help or guide their child through each step, that way the child and the parent are interacting with one another.

I agree that parents should be there helping their children through the stages. We see how neglect can seriously affect children's mental development which makes parental involvment hugely important.
Yes parents should definately help children through stages of development but not push them into developing faster than they are biologically designed to
