Sequence of development among children from birth to adolescence is

Cognitive development progresses from sensory experiences in infancy (sensorimotor stage), to concrete thinking in middle childhood (concrete operational stage), and finally to abstract thinking in adolescence (formal operational stage). This sequence aligns with Piaget's stages and reflects the natural progression from direct sensory engagement with the world to manipulation of concrete objects and eventually to manipulation of abstract symbols and hypothetical concepts. The sequence sensory-concrete-abstract is fundamental to understanding child development.
