I would say, being of a youngh age myself, that there are some basic guidlines for negotiating with children.
These guidlines will hopefully help you negotiate with children.
There is no one rule that applies to everyone . . . You need to have some understanding of each person as an individual then base your negotiations on such things as personality, wants, needs, etc. Even people of the same age, gender and stage of development can be completely different in terms of how to best negotiate with them
The stage of cognitive development when children learn to coordinate vision with touch is the sensorimotor stage, according to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. In this stage, which typically occurs from birth to age 2, infants develop object permanence and understand that objects still exist even when they are out of sight.
When children are capable of abstract thinking, they have reached the formal operational stage of cognitive development according to Piaget. This stage typically begins around age 11 and continues through adulthood. At this stage, individuals can think logically about abstract concepts, engage in hypothetical reasoning, and understand complex ideas.
The stage of personality development that challenges young people to succeed in school is the industry vs. inferiority stage, according to Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. In this stage, children between the ages of 6 to 12 years old must develop a sense of competency and mastery of tasks in order to feel successful and confident in their abilities. Children who do not successfully navigate this stage may experience feelings of inferiority and inadequacy.
Stages of development Mead minimized the importance of biology in personality development. The key was social experience, not maturation.Mead saw infants as responding to others only in terms of imitation, or mimicking behavior without understanding.As the use of symbols emerges the child enters a play stage in which role-taking occurs. Initially, the roles are modeled after significant others, especially parents.Through further social experience children enter the game stage where the simultaneous playing of many roles is possible.The final stage involves the development of a generalized other, or the general cultural norms and values shared by us and others that we use as a point of reference in evaluating ourselves.
The stage that emphasizes children's inability to perform mental operations is the preoperational stage, according to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. This stage typically occurs between ages 2 and 7, during which children exhibit symbolic thinking and language development but struggle with logical reasoning and understanding the concept of conservation. They often rely on intuition rather than logic, making it difficult for them to perform mental operations such as categorization or reversibility.
The preoperational stage occurs between the ages two and seven. Language development is one of the signs a child is entering this period. Children in this stage do not understand concrete logic.
In the preoperational stage, children typically struggle with logical reasoning, egocentrism, and understanding others' perspectives. In the concrete operational stage, children become capable of logical reasoning, understanding conservation principles, and the ability to think about abstract concepts.
There are several characteristics of the pre-operational stage. These include language development, pretending with inanimate objects; such using a broom as if it were a horse. At this stage children cannot comprehend the point of view of someone else, nor can they give the perspective of another person. Role playing is also present at this stage.
It is very important to be aware of children's development so that you know which stages of their development they are at. Knowledge of children's development also enables you to determine whether the child as at the correct stage of development or not. It is important that you know about Physical, Intellectual, Emotional and Social development. E.g. you need to know the stage of physical development for a child of 7 years so that you know if they are the right height and weight.
Children typically begin to develop an understanding of abstract concepts such as freedom around the age of 11-12, during the concrete operational stage of cognitive development according to Jean Piaget. This stage involves the ability to think logically and understand abstract ideas, although their understanding may still be limited compared to that of an adult.
They are in the realism stage of development.
