    My understanding of Pre-Operational Play is that children develop Representative Function between the ages of 2 and 4. During the Representative Function sub-stage, children master the ability to picture, remember, understand, and replicate objects in their minds that are not immediately in front of them. In other words, children can create mental images of objects and store them in their minds for later use. Infants and toddlers understood their world as containing only what they were immediately experiencing and nothing else.…

    Piaget described the pre-operational period of intellectual development as the second stage of cognitive development, occurring between the ages of approximately 2 and 7 years. At this stage children do not necessarily use logic to perform operations. They concentrate on one aspect of a situation and tend to project their own feelings onto others, animate or not. For example, they may describe how their teddy bear needs a drink. Children are very egocentric at this stage and the main purpose of speech is to let others know what they are thinking, rather than to have a two way communication.…

    The articles disscused whether children should play creatively or have organized play and although both articles have valid and arguable points I personally agree with the article supporting children to be able to play creatively. Children have a busy and organized schedule through out the day and should have time to play with their friends with out having to worry about rules or participating in something they dont enjoy. I agree with the article saying that children should play creatively because some children may not be interested in sports or or doing excercise in a gym if that was what's planned for their break. Children that dont enjoy these things may not be able to enjoy themselves as much if they got to choose what they wanted to…

    Why do children learn at different rates? Why do children interpret things differently? Children are very smart but can they simultaneously be aware that they can have two emotions at the same time? This may be difficult to comprehend but recent research suggests that cognitive developments within a child pays a crucial role in the integration of the concepts about the self and emotions. The construction of thought processes, including remembering, problem solving, and decision making, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood is known as cognitive development (Cognitive development, 2016).…

    According to Taylor (2008) Jean Piaget’s preoperational stage of development ranges from the age of two to seven. One part of the stage, period of intuitive allows for the child to consider other viewpoints (Taylor, 2008, p. 269). As a teacher leader, I guide other educators to present awesome lessons on Jean Piaget’s preoperational stage of development for Pre K through second grade students. For example, during a second grade reading lesson about inferences, I asked a second grade teacher to share ways to encourage the students to interact with each other by learning the skill. In order to support Piaget’s preoperational stage and how important it is for educators to present lessons to students according to their stage of development,…

    Overtime, there have been several theorists who have made valuable contributions in how play impacts young children (“The Importance of Play,” n.d.). One theorist, Jean Piaget felt that play is the assimilation product of a child making new information fit into an existing structure that they already know and can relate to. Because Piaget felt that children cannot find a connection to new information without having to change their mental structure, he did not feel that play provides children with learning. Instead, Piaget suggested that play was a way in which a child could practice what they have learned (“The Importance of Play,”…
