A. Effect theories and philosophical approachesThere are various effect and philosophical approaches that can help in an effectivechildren learning and development.

It involves various ways suchas a complete network of processing and dealing with the information that can be initially guidedto the children so that further it can help in as better and efficient development of the child. Also,it can be further classified in two types such as social cognitive theory and cognitive behaviouraltheory. Cognitive theory deals with various stages that can be included in order to make aneffective and appropriate children development. These stages include pre operational phasesalong with concrete and formal operations.
