This week we learned about the cognitive development of ourselves. We learned about the sensorimotor, pre-operational, concrete, and formal operational stages.  The young girl in this video displays that she is in pre-operational stage of her life.  The pre-operational stage is when a child is 2-6 years old.  In the beginning of the video it displays that she is almost 3 years old so she already fits into this description.  She also is on the phone and pretending to talk to someone about getting a lollipop puppy.  Pretending is a main part in this stage where kids explore their imagination.

I remember my mom telling me about a time in my life where I pretended with many things that I did.  I played with hot wheels a lot and used them like if I was the racecar driver.  I also pretended when I was using these pokemon cards that I loved to play with.  I just had a lot of fun as a kid pretending all the time.  I with sometimes that I could go back to those days.
