Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, third and fourth graders are in the Concrete Operational Stage (ages 7 to 11). This stage is characterized by the development of logical thought, less egocentric thinking, and an increase in the ability to conserve and understand the concept of reversibility. Children in this age group can grasp concrete information and logical rules, making it an appropriate time to teach them about oral health.
