The Child's Conception of the World (book)

"The Child's Conception of the World" by Jean Piaget explores how children develop their understanding of reality as they grow. Piaget argues that children actively construct their own knowledge through interactions with their environment, rather than passively absorbing information. He identifies stages of cognitive development, showing how children's thinking evolves from simple, concrete ideas to more complex, abstract concepts. This book helps explain why children see and interpret the world differently than adults, emphasizing the importance of developmental milestones in shaping perception, reasoning, and understanding at various ages.
