After the advent of language the child enters the naïve psychology stage where they begin language in order to communicate, however they don’t comprehend the figurative nature of language. When the child starts to understand the figurative nature of language around the age of three, they enter the private speech stage in which they use language to explain to themselves how to accomplish tasks. The last stage, ingrowth stage, is the permanent embedding of internalized speech routines, as obtained from social interactions with older children and adults, that govern logical thinking from there on out.Â
On the other hand, Piaget emphasized individualistic development as a means for learning during early, middle, and late childhood. As with Vygotsky, Piaget believed that the symbolic nature of language eluded children until later development and therefore limited logically thinking during childhood development. However, Piaget emphasized egocentrism, centration, and a deficit in the understanding of conservation. Piaget highlighted the observation of more individualistic developments as a cornerstone of his theory of childhood progress. For instance, Piaget believed that young children were only able to see things from their own perspective, rather than from someone else’s perspective (egocentrism). He also believed that children were only able to consider one variable when observation an object or idea (centration). Even though many of these observations might be relevant to the cognitive development of children, they only tell half of the story. For, we do not live in a social vacuum. It is through social interaction and observational learning that we are able to overcome out early deficits in the areas of egocentrism and centration. In this way, Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s theories of childhood develop are complementary, different sides of the same coin as it were, rather than opposing positions.

What are the major milestones related to socioemotional development in early and middle childhood? What types of changes occur in peer relationships from early to middle childhood?
In early childhood development the degree to which the child is attached to the caregiver is primary above any other socio-emotional factors. Nevertheless, as the child begins to understand that the caregiver exists even in their absence and further that the relationships with the caregiver persists indefinitely, they will begin to build an idea of self apart from the caregiver.
