Preoperational Stage
An example in my life that demonstrates the preoperational stage of Piaget's theory is when I would pretend that certain objects or toys were alive (animism) -
Interests as a child
I think that I was coddled as a child, and was not allowed to do my own thing. However, this does not match up with the research done on this developmental stage because I had a lot of initiative now as a child and as an adult. -

Concrete Operational Stage
An example in my life of the concrete operational stage of Piaget's theory is when I began to learn about adding and subtracting with physical blocks, and I could seethe process and think more logically. -
Physical Activity
I climbed a lot of trees and jumped on the trampoline. I was a very active child and I loved every minute of it! -

Physical Activity
I participated in colorguard in high school. It kept me very active and made me feel good about myself. -
Gross and Fine Motor Skills
Gross motor skills that I used included moving my arms and legs for running and lifting colorguard equipment. Fine motor skills that I used included squeezing and gripping the equipment, and point my toes. -
