Jean Piaget — The Child Who Thinks Differently

Why does a five-year-old insist that a taller glass has more water—even when you just poured it in front of them? Jean Piaget's conservation task reveals that children think in fundamentally different ways than adults. Explore the four stages of cognitive development, how children construct logic differently, and why understanding this changes everything about teaching, parenting, and learning. This episode isn't just about children—it's about how minds develop and how understanding that development unlocks growth at any age.
