Bullet Example

Jane, 12 months old, demonstrates object permanence because she looked for her mom’s keys in the

purse after her mother dropped them there. This is appropriate for her age, putting her in the

sensorimotor stage according to Piaget’s stages of cognitive development. (Each bullet should

contain at least one term, or theorist, or stage.) Scripture example: (For neonatal, I googled scripture

on newborns.) One of which was: Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the

womb a reward. Psalm 127: 3, which would apply to the physical development stage.

Before Observation

It is recommended that students compile a list of terms, stages, etc. and associated questions to ask,

things to look for, etc. to be able to observe these areas.
