6) discusses cognitive development during childhood, Erik Erikson (p.14) believes that there are challenges that a child must face to achieve resourceful growth, competent and independent. How much freedom to explore, learn and the type of support provided matters to a child's progression. How things are paraphrased is vital to what the child will understand. The example given in Figure 6.5 involves a mother teaching her child what a zebra is and how the child classifies it into assimilation/accommodation. The child, using assimilation, uses previously acquired information to understand new information. Accommodation, on the other hand, occurs when newly acquired data changes previous understanding. As an adult, we provide the tools and each child will decide internally how to store the data. This links to Dweck's article "how to raise smart children" where children will accept the knowledge taught to them, it will naturally correlate to their understanding of things. It all starts with how to properly provide children with data to use as they mature. Praise effort instead of praising intelligence. Being praised for effort will push the child to face challenges head on, rather than being praised for intelligence, where they see a difficult problem and give up because it's "too hard" (Dweck, 2007).
