In Piaget 's four stages of cognitive development, if the child is exposed to a dysfunctional family dynamic/addicted parents, how does this effect each of the four stages of cognitive delvleopment...I am assuming that the child will begin to progressivly develop maladaptive behavior?
Childhood is a very sensitive period for a child's development. Dysfunctional families where there is a high level of stress or where the child is neglected by the parents can affect the child in a negative way. In a study on children who were neglected it was found that neglected children experienced cognitive decline when compared with non-neglected children. Children who do not get their parents attention and love show delay in language, social, intelligence and other areas. Authoritative and uninvolved parents tend to negatively impact the child's cognition as they be overly strict or just not caring of their child.
