assignment 5

piaget's theories have to do with nature and the surrounding environment. Their surroundings play a huge part in development while the parents only play a small part. It is necessary for the parents to do what they can to try and help improve or guide their child through these six stages. In the first stage, the child learns alot from themselves and about their body. In the Third stage, the child learns to relate abjects to people, especially other people such as their parents. All children develope the same way, just at different rates of speed.

I liked the wording you used when you said parents must "improve or guide" thier childs learning. That is a good way of putting it because parents in this theory are not the main source of knowledge. It is a biological process that can be assisted or better put improved or guided by the parent

Good point, I agree with you all kids develop but just at different rates and speeds. They don't need to be pushed because children are being made to grow up faster than what they should be.

I agree, most children develope at different rates. I think this is sometimes hard for parents because parents always want to compair their child to a friends or co-workers child.

I agree, every child developes the same way but at different rates. Many parents want their children to develope faster, for many different reasons. Also I liked how the parents should guide their child through each step.

I concur, children learn, experience and grow at their own separate rates. Parents definitely need to "guide" their children's learning. All too often parents mistake "guiding their children" for "controlling their children." This is best scene during the later years of adolescence but yet aren't we still learning, experience, and growing as young adults as well?
