1 of 19
Around 12 months
Infants begin to imitate sounds made by carers such as 'da da'. This develops into using single words
2 of 19
Around 2 years
Infants begin to make two-word sentences such as 'cat gooed'. The infant begins to build their vocabulary
3 of 19
Around 3 years
Children begin to make simple sentences, such as 'I want drink'. This develops into the ability to ask questions, 'when we go?' Knowledge of words grows very rapidly
4 of 19
Around 4 years
Children begin to use clear sentences that can be understood by strangers. Children can be expected to make some mistakes with grammar 'we met lots of peoples at the shops today'

Sensorimotor (birth-2 years)
Infants think by interacting with the world using their eyes, ears, hands and mouth. As a result, the infant invents ways of solving problems.
7 of 19
Preoperational (2-7)
Children use symbols to represent their earlier sensorimotor discovery. Development of langauge and make-believe play take place. Piaget believed that children at this stage cannot properly understand how number, mass and volume really work
8 of 19
Concrete operational (7-11)
Children's reasoning becomes logical providing the issues are concrete. In the concrete operational stage, children may be able to understand simple logical principles
9 of 19
Formal operational (11-18)
This is when the capacity for abstract thinking allows adolescents to reason through symbols that do not refer to objects in the real world, as is required in advanced mathematics.
