I think there is a connection between the cognitive changes that children make between the ages of five and seven. When I was 5, I focused on situations like the way things look or feel rather than logic. I had difficulty focusing on the decision, and my perception of things was different at that age, I know that my cognitive development, while between the ages of 5-7 years adjustments in thinking and reasoning occur as a child slowly transitions from pre-operational thinking to the concrete operational thoughts.

I understood mathematics, science and could do scientific experiments. I understood what my personal space was and the personal space of other students. I notice that I had a sense of identity, self-worth, and was becoming more
