Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist known for his work on child development. He placed great importance on children's education. According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, the sensorimotor stage occurs from birth to age 2, where infants learn about the world through senses and interactions. During this stage, object permanence develops as children understand that objects still exist even when they can't be seen.

18. # From 4 to 8 months of age, your growing little
one will begin to use objects to learn about the
world. This process generally begins by accident,
but as your baby starts to enjoy their ability to
make things happen, they’ll continue these
activities again and again.
# Children use their personal experience to develop
their own knowledge about the world.
# Children can learn on their own, even when they
aren’t taught or influenced by other children or
adults.
# Children have an internal motivation to learn, so
rewards for learning generally aren’t necessary.

19. # Understand and respond to simple directions or questions .
# May listen to or show a preference for certain short stories
and songs.
# Can remember and repeat words or actions from previous
days.

21. Object permanence also involves the knowledge that parents still exist
when they temporarily leave the room. Once your child understands
object permanence, they may not mind when you leave the room, since
they understand you’ll return eventually.
