Lower Level


This is a period of dramatic growth and transformation.  Emphasis is on physical growth and independence, the concrete world and the construction of the self as the center of things in a sensory-motor, factual, protected environment.  The young child is capable of taking in great amounts of knowledge through the senses.

The central question is “What is it?”
The overriding desire is to “Let me do it myself!”
