LL2: Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development

This is an illustration concerning the definition of Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (meaning that the average child is not capable of handling certain things on their own, but are able to accomplish that certain thing with the help of an older adult). How else would a child know how to do a caterpillar if he or she would have never saw how it looks first? Another thing that should be looked at as well is how to make a rainbow with play-doh. In order to really think outside the box concerning such, try to get down on a child's level of thinking. For example, when playing with blocks, puzzles and other things of which can get really tricky, see how he or she feels when things concerning the picture they want in their head doesn't come out the way they want it to be. Then, that's when a child will ask an adult to help out in the creative process. Once the adult helps the child with the creative process and finishes it, the child is now finally happy with the end result and tells the person thank you. It makes both of them really content of what was both started and completed!
