start
Objectives and standards
Analyze brain development from infancy through childhood (CC.8.6.9-10.B) Identify key factors in emotional development (CC.8.5.9-10.C) Examine Piaget's developmental stages (CC.8.5.9-10.D) Explore attachment theory and emotional bonding (CC.8.5.9-10.G)
Desired Result
How do our earliest experiences shape who we become?
Meet Jean Piaget
Swiss developmental psychologist
Pioneered child cognitive development research
Key discovery: Children think differently than adults
50+ years studying children's cognitive development
Revolutionary approach: Used observation and conversation
Piaget's Big Ideas
Children's mistakes reveal cognitive processes
Development occurs in distinct stages
All children progress through same stages
Individual progression rates vary
Learning is an active process
Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years)
Learning through senses and movement
Object permanence develops
Goal-directed behavior emerges
Examples:
- Reaching for toys
- Looking for hidden objects
- Exploring cause and effect
+ info
Preoperational Stage (2-7 years)
Symbolic thinking emerges
Egocentric thinking dominates
Magical thinking present
Language development accelerates
Pretend play flourishes.
+ info
+ info
Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 Years)
+ info
Logical thinking about concrete situations
Conservation understanding
Classification skills develop
Reversible thinking emerges
Problem-solving improves
Formal Operational Stage (11+ years)
Abstract reasoning develops
Hypothetical thinking emerges
Scientific reasoning strengthens
Complex problem-solving skills
Understanding multiple perspectives
+ info
Attachment styles
