The child showed…

Among the theories of human development, the one I most agree with is Kohlberg’s six stages of moral reasoning. Kohlberg’s theory outlines the stages of moral reasoning in a simplistic manner that one can follow and understand the process of each stage of the infant to adulthood life cycle. The first level 1, age 4 to 10 years includes stage 1 – 'Punishment and Obedience Orientation'. The child obeys rules given by others to avoid punishment.

Every child is in the sensorimotor stage until they get to be around 2 years old. During this stage infants become area of their senses like touch…

Fine-motor skills such as tying shoes or fastening buttons, which requires the coordination of small movements, also improve greatly during the preschool years.
