Based on Piaget’s theory of cognitive development in Chapter 2 of your textbook, children’s cognitive development follows a sequence of different stages. Each stage tends to happen around a certain age of the child’s development.
JJ and MM are parents of a new born and they are highly motivated first-time parents who want to do everything that they can to speed up their children’s cognitive development. Because they believe that it will help their child to have a better chance of performing better than other children in school and in life.
Based on your understanding of the theory, do you think that a child’s cognitive development can be accelerated (e.g., a child reaches a stage several months earlier than the typical timeline). Write a two-page essay to explain your opinion.
