Good afternoon and happy Trivia Tuesday! Today’s trivia question may be easier for those who examined your child’s critical thinking skills and watched as they gained a better understanding of how the world around them functions physically!
When it comes to understanding conservation, around what age do children start to understand this? **bonus: which stage in Piaget’s stages in sensorimotor development does this occur?**
- 12 years old or older
- around 7 to 12 years old
- from birth
- 2 to 5 years old
As promised, the answer to the last question on which of the five senses is developed first, the correct choice is touch! In the womb, fetuses develop touch as their first sense with hearing then developing after about 4 months in the womb. Tune in next week to discover what the answer is for this week’s question and to learn more on child development!
