Young children demonstrate an amazing ability to learn peculiar or implausible concepts, above adults understanding in certain aspects of learning. Studies show that by the age of three, a child’s intelligence is doubled as active as an adult’s. The famous Developmental Psychologist Jean Piaget questioned traditional concepts of how parents and teachers should educate children. He suggested that adults nurture children’s natural interests and learning methodologies rather than imposing knowledge and skills upon them. Piaget considered that children learn best through personal experience and creativity, much like scientists performing experiments to comprehend the world around them. His ideas affected the progress of child-centered education systems that give priority to practical activities over inactive observation.
