Jean Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory emphasis the importance of nature rather than nurture. Piaget argue that children’s reasoning and understanding emerges naturally in stages (Broderick & Blewwitt, 2015). Nurture as it relates to growth and human development gives a great example of Skinner’s Behaviorist Theory approach.

Piaget derive that there are four different stages in the child cognitive development of children.

There was a total of 40…

Why preschoolers bite and hit . Why? Preschoolers have big emotions in those little bodies. Their journey to understand the world around them just begins as they step into their second home (preschool).

That’s why they tend to express their emotions by way of biting and nibbling. A child might bite to…
