    This document outlines cognitive developmental milestones for children ages 5-6 years old. It discusses that children at this age are in Piaget's preoperational stage of development where they are learning language and symbolic thinking. Key milestones include sequencing events, understanding concepts like time, days of the week, counting to 10, and drawing basic human figures. The document provides example activities to support development in areas like sequencing, storytelling, understanding questions, and learning prepositions and time telling.

    COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENTAL

    MILESTONES
    AGE: 5 & 6 YEARS
    • Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development suggests that children move through four
    different stages of learning. 

    • Preoperational stage: Ages 2 to 7

    • With rapid increases in motor skill and language development, young children are
    constantly encountering new experiences, objects, and words.

    • During the preoperational stage, many of the child’s existing schemas will be challenged,
    expanded, and rearranged. Their whole view of the world may shift.

    • Children in this stage are learning to use language and how to think about the world
    symbolically
    • Centration and conservation are characteristic of preoperative thought.

    • Centration is the act of focusing all attention on one characteristic or dimension of a


    situation while disregarding all others.
    Centration is a child focusing on the number of pieces of cake that each person has, regardless
    of the size of the pieces.

    • Conservation is the awareness that altering a substance’s appearance does not change its
    basic properties.
    5-6 YEARS
    • Sequencing (First, next, and last)
    • Prepositions
    • Understanding the concept of Time (yesterday, today, and
    tomorrow)
    • Days of the week
    • Counts 10 or more objects.
    • Names at least four colors correctly.
    • Understands items used everyday such as food or money.
    • Draws a person with at least six body parts.
    • Copies a triangle and other geometric shapes.
    • Recognizes own printed name and may be able to write name.
    6 YEARS
    • Number concept

    • Differentiate day and night

    • Repeat 3 digits backwards

    • Speak in sentence of five to seven words

    • Focus on a task for five minutes

    • Be able to tell time

    • Peer acceptance is needed during this stage and hence, boys tend to play with boys and girls with
    other girls.

    • Get better at describing events and feelings. 


    ACTIVITIES
     SEQUENCING

    • Sequencing, also known as temporal ordering, is the process of arranging events in the order that they occur in
    time.
    • Sometimes the events just occur in a certain order, such as when dressing – undergarments go on first, trousers before
    shoes, etc.
    • Learning to sequence is an important part of a child’s cognitive development, along with learning mental concepts
    such as matching, sorting, pairing and cause-and-effect relationships.

    ACTIVITY: Following a Recipe, Daily Routine, Photo Story, Grow Beans, Story Time, Sequencing Cards

     STORY TELLING

    • To Improve conversational skills and social abilities

    ACTIVITY: Describing characteristics of a picture with prompts.


     CONCEPT OF TIME and DAYS OF WEEK

    • Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow


    • Large sheet of paper, pictures representing events in child’s daily routine.
     UNDERSTANDING QUESTIONS

    • Pointing to correct pictures of WHAT, WHO, and WHERE


    • Pictures of Objects ( ball, car, chair), Animals ( cow, cat, dog), and People ( mother, father, baby)
    • Spread out the pictures of an adult, cow, and a ball.
    • Ask “who drives the car” “what does mummy drive” “where do you sleep”

     PREPOSITIONS

    • Prepare worksheets by drawing simple pictures


    • 1st Pic: House, Girl and Tree
    • 2nd pic: Square, Circle, and Triangle

    Commands: Lets draw a circle around girl…emphasise on the word “around” “draw line under the house” “make a
    dot beside tree”
    Gradually increase the difficulty of the task (can add colour)
     Time
    • Identify parts of clock (Numbers, the hour hand, & the minute hand)
    • Teach time to the hour ( 1 O’ clock)
    • Teach time to half hour
    • Five min interval
    • Past the 30 Min point (40, 45, 50)
