Swiss theoretician Jean Piaget had a life span from (1896-1980), above you wrote that he was born 1986? that makes him 17-years-old!

Interesting, I’d never heard of it, will refer back to this post and that book for future studies. Thanks

Nice post! Adam Phillips also gave a broader view in his book Going Sane. Roughly speaking, from 0 - 12/puberty, most of our actions are in some way governed by marking out our roles within the family unit. From puberty to about 20, they're governed by marking out our roles as separate from the family unit. And adulthood is the balance we strike between these two.

It made a lot of sense to me too that’s what made me do a post!

Oops, that last comment should have read ‘try to explain to her things are NOT necessarily how they seem’. Freudian slip or what.

Wasn’t sure I was mentally strong enough to tackle intellectual development this late at night, but am glad to have read your posting. It does make sense of how toddler talk. I find it heart-breaking how trusting Beanie is, taking things at face value, like you say – I try to explain to her that things are necessarily how they seem, but I don’t think it sinks in. Still, nice to have that innocent trust in the world. While it lasts!
