Module 1 Activity 8

Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development is not only important for Educators to know but also parents and caregivers.  I think with a better understanding on the process of development of our children will help us to cater for their needs at their level.  This could also play an important role in identifying children who may have some form of developmental problem.  For instant a three year old child who is unable to pronounce common words clearly may indicate that child may have a speech problem.  Giving children an opportunity to discover information and then demonstrate what they know is very important.
