According to Piaget, children make a number of important cognitive advances during the Concrete Operational Stage during the Middle Childhood years.
• From the advances described (conservation, classification, seriation, or transitivity), select and describe the advance that you think is the MOST significant during this period and explain WHY you think it is important. Be as specific as you can. (Feel free to look up more information on these advances if the description in the text is not completely clear to you.)
• Provide a SPECIFIC example of how this advancement would lead you to interact with a middle child differently than you would with a younger child who has not yet developed that ability. In other words, describe a specific situation NOT already described in the textbook, where you would need to interact with a younger and an older child differently.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
