In addition to games initiated and instructed by children, genuine games are not imposed by adults but also bubbling from the inside of children are disappearing from our childhood scenery. When you are outside you are afraid of 'unfamiliar danger'. (Every day in 2009) Past and present studies clearly point out the importance of health and full development in early childhood. Piaget's theory thinks that the spiritual model and cognitive structure of children is based on the activities of children. Participation makes sense.
In the first year of life, what Jean Piaget calls sensual sports games and practice games (Piaget, 1962) is included. Piaget believes that this drama reflects the progressive intelligence of children through a series of segments during the first 18 months of development. The first of these phases is the main periodic reaction. When a baby mistakenly discovers an interesting sensation or exercise experience related to your body, repeat it. This phenomenon usually occurs in 1 to 4 months. Piaget 's own son Rolan' s explanation for 8 weeks old is clear. "Scratch and catch, then grab, scratch, grab, ... Roland holds a crease on the blanket, grab it for a while on the seat, grasp it for a while, then release it and scratch it again, And start over from the beginning without interruption "(Piaget, 1963, p.191)
There is a table called Piaget's cognitive development stage. In this figure, we classify the age, stage, and behavior to be done by children between 18 months and 12 years old. Piaget's cognitive development map has four stages. This further development, Piaget explained as assimilation and adaptation. When a new stimulus is given to a child, an assimilation process takes place, where an existing model is called to deal with this new situation. If these new information does not match the existing mode, an imbalance will occur, existing modes will be changed, new modes will be created, and adjustments will be made.
