Emma is 4 years old so she would be in the pre-operational stage of development so in regards to the case study Emma does not have the understanding that changing the way you build the tower affects how stable the tower becomes

Liam supports Emmas development through Vygotskys theory of scaffolding as Liam is showing how to stack the blocks in a way that they won't fall this shows Emma how to make her tower so it does not fall

Emmas statement that the blocks don't want to. stay up reflects the egocentric stage of the pre-operational stage as she thinks that it is the blocks fault that they don't want to stay up and can not recognise that what she is doing effects how the tower stands

Liam has supported Emma through social interactions by showing her now to build the tower so that is does not fall down. This also supports vygotskys Zone of Proximal development as it shows the difference between what Emma could build on her own and what she could build with the support and guidance of Liam.
