These are the proximal processes that make up the characterisitics of a child, the stimulation of a child's development and the time in which a child matures and develops

1. Analysis via Piaget’s Developmental Stage Theory a. Piaget theorized that cognitive development occurred through four progressive stages as a child matured and experienced their environment.

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Huck Finn, the main character, shows most of these stages of moral development as he goes on his journey
