Developmental Stage 0-2

	Age 0-2

At this developmental stage a newborn's understanding is limited to direct contact with the environment and with only simple reflexes-seeing, listening, sucking, touching, crying, and movement of arms, trunk, and head.

Intelligence develops as a child interacts with the environment, experiencing reactions and sensations from reflexive actions.

A child begins to communicate through different cries for different needs...

Around the age of 2, through experience and experimentation, an early sign of thought takes place as a child becomes aware that objects do no cease to exist when they are hidden.

They start to make use of imitation, memory and thought...Children will also begin to solve problems through a primitive type of creativity.
