At the age of two years old, the brain of a child has almost developed the same as the adult size while other parts of the child still have not grown as speedily as the brain. The growth of the brain extend the cognitive skills and motor skills (Pg 215). In the brain, there are two hemispheres; left and right. The right hemisphere controls the creative side while the left brain controls logical tasks. Surprisingly, there is a difference in lateralization for boys and girls. "Starting during the first year of life and continuing in the preschool years, boys and girls show some hemispheric differences associated with lower boy reflexes and the processing of auditory information. Boys also clearly tend to show greater lateralization of language

During preschool years, Piaget's stage of preoperational thinking includes the preoperational stage, operation, centration, and conservation. Piaget's theory demonstrates the stages that the children go through as they age with the use of assimilation and accommodation (Pg. 229). Erikson's theory of psychosocial development also display the stages where children transition to the next stages. The stages of Erikson's theory are the trust-versus-mistrust stage, autonomy-versus-shame-and doubt stage, initiative-versus-guilt, industry-versus-inferiorly, identity-versus-confusion, intimacy-versus-isolation, generativity-versus-stagnation, and integrity-versus-despair (Pg. 195). Erikson's theory of psychosocial development and Piaget's theory of cognitive development are taking place throughout the person's lifespan. The differences between the two are Erikson's theory of psychosocial development has eight stages while Piaget's theory of cognitive development has 4 stages. Erikson focuses on personality shaped by infant's experiences while Piaget concentrates on children's thinking …show more content…
Roth. The book mainly focuses on how one person can make a significant impact on many other lives by focusing and determining to make that one goal comes true. In the book, it talked about the mothers weave and sew clothes and the fathers crossed the bridge to carry stones. This is the only example of gender stereotyping that I found in the book. In the terms of preoperational and operation stages, the author wrote about Doctor Gregson bringing cement, lumber, and tools. The children's use of symbolic thinking of reading about the cement, lumber, and tools as a symbol of a school. It also showed the reasoning skills and logical mental processes by showing that there was only a cable to bring a person over once at a time which makes it difficult to bring supplies and finish the school fast. Therefore, the children used critical thinking and mental skills to decide to build a bridge to bring the heavy load of building supplies. On the last page, the preoperational stage is demonstrated as the author talked about the last nail to hammer. Children use symbolic thinking of the last nail as being the school is completed. This book can teach children about kindness, determination, culture, and promise. Doctor Gregson lost his way to the mountains and stumbled upon their village. The villagers took care of him by giving him foods and shelter until he got better. As he was healing, he taught the children lessons
