From a ball of cells called blastocyst living in the mother's womb for nine months, then baby was finally delivered and soon will learnt about his surrounding initially as a child.
"...a child means every human being below the age of 18 years unless the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier."(Article 1,United Nations Convention on The Rights of the Child (CRC),1989)
Children developed into respective processes which often related on the ageing terms of newborn (ages between 0 to 1 month), infant (ages among 1 month to 1 year), toddler (ages between 1 to 3 years), pre-schooler (ages 4 to 6 years ), school-aged child (ages 6 to 11 years), adolescent (ages 11 to 18 years).

Cognitive development is described as the pattern of changes in the mental abilities such as learning, attention,memory, language, reasoning, thinking and creativity.
There are two of the most influenced theories that were used in this childhood development processes which are Jean Piaget's Cognitive-Stage Theory and Lev Vygotsky Sociocultural Theory. Piaget’s theory is often described as a constructivist view who interpreted his surrounding based on light of the knowledge and with the experiences he already had. He discovered that children thinked and reasoning their thoughts differently at certain periods of time. Piaget also found out that childrens' thinking showed a striking regularity and consistency, even though it was often incorrect.
On the other hand, the central theme in Vygotsky’s theory is that children acquire cognitive structures from their social interactions, primarily by listening to the language they hear around them. Such social interactions play the important role on how the children will develop and become later on in the future. He also emphasises that culture can greatly influence or affect the child's cognitive …show more content…
Specifically, the first stage of child development based on the Piaget’s theory is the sensorimotor stage (0 to 2 years old) where the child starts to increase their language development after they have started to crawl or walk. For example, the child will try to learn on how to imitate the sound of the animals when they are watching television. The child will also start to differentiate themselves from other objects. During the preoperational stage which is the second stage according to Piaget’s, that occurs between the ages of 2 to 6 years old, the child will start to talk more fluently. The child intelligence is expressed based on how they use symbols, wider range of vocabulary, imagination development but still can’t think in a logical way. They will try to describe the thing that they are doing although people are aware on what they are trying to
