🎓 Human Development in Early Childhood | Vygotsky, Piaget & Locke Explained
In this video, I explore early childhood development (ages 2–6) through a sociocultural lens, using key theories by Lev Vygotsky, Jean Piaget, and John Locke.

I also reflect on my personal experiences growing up in an Indian household, where learning happened through storytelling, traditional games like kabaddi, and guidance from elders.

📌 What you'll learn in this video:

The importance of early childhood in shaping cognitive, emotional, and social growth

Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory: ZPD, scaffolding & the role of social interaction
