One tube of water is long and narrow, and the other tube is wide and short. The child picks the long tube of water because he or she sees that it is longer and bigger. The child also enters the why stage, when the child always ask the parents things like why is the sky blue?.
The Concrete Operations period starts from age seven to eleven. The child develops a series of intellectual operations. The child can understand symbols and learn more vocabulary. The child can explain, for example, that one dog is a pit-bull and another is a chow and that both are types of dogs (Vasta). Piaget also gave this group of kids a test on what they thought the meaning of the word "alive- means to them. The outcome was very interesting. Piaget writes, "It is evident what meaning these children give to the word "alive."" It means "to do something,"" or for choice "to be able to move- - (Piaget). If parents know this knowledge they would be able to understand more about their child. This knowledge will also give a good foundation on how to set discipline level. .
Many parents do not even bother to listen or understand their kids. How many times have you been in a store and saw a kid yelling or having a tantrum and you said to yourself, what that kid needs is a good spanking? No one knows why that child is acting that way. If a friend asks another friend advice on discipline their child, the first thing that come out of the other friend's mouth is give the child a spanking. The reason why most people say they believe in spanking their kids is because their parents did it to them (Connors). But when a person think about it, the person feeling towards their parent that spank them wasn't to pleasant. Spanking do motivate a person enough to find a better way. The only reason why that is because spanking brings fear to the child. Many people would say after they got a spanking for doing wrong they never did it again.
