Cognitive Development Case

In the cognitive development of their childhood, many of them begin kindergarten and go into the world of starting g school. Starting to have homework and classroom rules to follow, they are able to to follow instructions and follow directions. They start to learn about the people and world around them, they begin to explore and gain more confidence, as they develop understandings and new skills. Five year olds begin to understand math and numbers, seeing as numbers start to have a meaning as they learn how to count. Starting to learn shapes and may even begin to learn three dimensional shapes. Their imagination gets bigger and will blossom as they increasingly begin to engage in more complex playing involving make believe. Start to play with imaginary friends or start to play faves that involve things that they don't have in their possession and will imagine they have it. Many enjoy singing and dancing, they have a natural live for repetition; this will dovetail nicely into learning songs and movements. Many of them also enjoy hearing of telling jokes, even though many of them don't really understand them or can't say then correctly. They also love competing with others at board games and other activities. Although many may become upset at losing and will need to work on how to deal with not winning a have, some may even throw tantrums fit losing. My storybook, "Crissy's Underwater Adventure" fits with the cognitive development of a choice year old because of the advanced language that is involved in the book. Since, five year olds start to learn about the world around them to discover more. The "big kid" phase starts to set in and they begin to become more independent and start to do things on their own. They start to experience more confidence. That is why my book fits in with the cognitive development of a five year old.
