Latency

resolving fixations or conflicts in previous stages ; the child develops closeness with parents if conflicts are resolved, and builds social ties

Genital

 Sensory Motor Stage

child learns through sensory experiences ; knowledge is based on the senses, and the child responds to people and things through reflex movements like sucking or grasping

Pre-operational stage

the child’s way of thinking is toward himself/herself ; child continues to develop using mental images and begins to use symbols to represent what he/she knows significantly through language

Concrete Operational Stage

child begins to be more logical and able to perform simple operations, begin to understand classifications, and can understand reversibility

Formal Operational Stage

at this point, he/she is no longer just dependent on concrete perceptual experiences in the present ; he/she is able to analyze problems, and consider different ways of solving it in a systematic way
