Piaget's Preoperational Stage
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget's second of four developmental stages - preoperational - incorporates three primary growth indicators that include mental representation, language and symbol usage. Major limitations of this stage reflect that of ridged thinking, egocentrism and principle of conservation, a notion of how "quantity is unrelated to the arrangement and physical appearance of objects" (Feldman, 2006). The extent to which Piaget's second stage serves to lay the groundwork for speech, increased mental clarity and incorporation of symbolic gestures is both grand and far-reaching; that the corresponding limitations are soon rectified in the third stage speaks to the manner by which a child's progression is a palpable conduit from one stage to the next. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Play Therapy And Toddlers
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Raising a child is likely the most difficult challenge any adult will ever face. With no prior training and often faced with seemingly insurmountable circumstances, adults many times learn right along with their children about the rights and wrongs of parenting. Even the most accomplished parents are not exempt from making mistakes that will take root within a child's psyche and unwittingly program him for certain difficulties later in life; when this occurs, psychological therapy is often sought as a means by which to deprogram such imbedded characteristics. Toddlers, however, present an even greater challenge with regard to unmasking issues that cause introspective or antisocial behavior; in these cases, play therapy is employed so that the child can be free to express himself in the natural state of release that children innately understand. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
