2 Child Development. Children go through progressive stages from birth to maturity. Jean Piaget, suggested a predictable progression of mental changes occurs in childhood. According to the idea, children go through a series of age-related phases, beginning with the sensorimotor stage and ending with the formal operational stage (Bergin & Bergin, 2018). According to Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development, the sensorimotor stage lasts from birth until age two. The first thoughts of a newborn are sensory and motor-focused (Bergin & Bergin 2018). It indicates that a baby's cognitive growth is formed from their perceptions and mobility as they observe the world around them. In this developmental stage, kids start to grasp the concept of symbols and may utilize what they've seen and heard to create their versions of the real thing (Bergin & Bergin, 2018). Children between the ages of two to seven, who are in Piaget's preoperational stage of cognitive development, are said to employ intuitive and symbolical reasoning, such as making analogies between one item and another (Cengage, n.d.). Piaget argues that pre-schoolers are still cognitively immature because they lack the capacity for logical thought, mental manipulation, and an understanding of cause and consequence (Bergin & Bergin, 2018). As seen in the video, toddlers at the preoperational stage have difficulty decentering their thinking and are egocentric, meaning they feel that other people perceive the world from their perspective. Between the ages of seven and eleven, most youngsters enter the concrete operational stage of development (Bergin & Bergin, 2018). Based on Cengage's video presentation, kids have the mental capacity to reason and think rationally at this age. In addition, they have improved decentering and reversal capabilities.

3 Children typically reach the formal operational stage between the ages of twelve and eighteen, coinciding with the onset of adolescence. Adolescents are developing their capacity for abstract thought and strengthening their capacity for hypothetical and logical reasoning. This implies they can imagine several scenarios and come up with various responses to each (Bergin & Bergin, 2018). This level of cognitive maturity and abstract and logical reasoning are required for success in the academic core. I will teach pupils at the middle school level at the formal and concrete operational levels. For reading comprehension, students need the ability to think abstractly. Contextualizing a convoluted plot may be challenging and irritating for students at the concrete operational level. This talent will come more easily as their capacity for abstract thought grows. They can put themselves in a book's characters' shoes and come up with other plans and results. They will also be able to speculate and think critically about the outcomes. Then, they will achieve success by using their knowledge of categorization and logic to their reading and problem-solving. According to Bergin and Bergin (2018, p. 109), "Piaget thought that phases of cognitive development occur in a predictable succession from kid to child." However, I am not convinced that Piaget's approach is consistent with a Christian worldview. God created each of us in our unique way is a central theme throughout the Bible ( Psalm 139:13-14). Although there seems to be a natural order to how the brain matures with time, each of us was uniquely fashioned. No two people advance and mature at the same pace. My view is that a person's education, social connections, upbringing, and general circumstances may all play significant roles in shaping their growth. To bolster this point, Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
