While Piaget believed in the integration of intellectual, biological, and social development, and in the importance of a balance of direction and freedom in child development and learning, he did not suggest that learning could be accelerated beyond natural and biologically given limits. In fact, he believed that cognitive development occurred through a series of stages that were universal but varied in their timing and pace for each individual, and that it was important for educators to respect these individual differences rather than trying to speed up development.
