Assignment 5
Piagets theory implies that a child develops through the help of understanding the surroundings of their natural environment. This occurs during infancy when the child learns to explore his or her surroundings in his or her own way. For instance in stage 3 they start their interactions with people. Afterwards in stages 5 and 6 they become more engaged and become what psychologists have come to call “little scientists.” Researchers are concerned that applying too much emphasis early on will put pressure on them forcing them to learn too quickly. Over exposure to too many learning experiences is actually damaging to their learning potential. Every child learns through different but similar experiences and at their own individual speeds its only a matter of time.

I think it's important to remember that children learn at their own pace so they aren't pushed too hard. While increased stimulation can be good, they shouldn't be overstimulated like you said.
I agree, too many parents push their children to be little scholars when they just need to have fun and be a kid, either way they are always learning!
i completely agree with your blog. i believe the same things
