John Locke and Jean­Jacques Rousseau’s
John Locke and Jean­Jacques Rousseau’s theories on youth advancement and educational reasoning both had plenty of similar aspects on the process of education, but their perspective on development were unlike in many ways. They both mainly differ on realism and how they utilize custom and social conventions for the teachings of young children.
Essentially, their theories of education set on how they understand the bond between nurture and nature and what the part of the educated man is in society.
Rousseau has broken down his theory of development into phases, both he and Locke approves that ideas are not natural in a child but that they are knowledgeable from their background and that children's understand the world right through their senses. Rousseau takes an extra step and states that infants start obtaining speech and that they do this nearly on their own. He believed that they develop a grammar that is beyond true than our individual and that they track the rules of grammar much greater than older people. From the website, it sounds like Rousseau’s theory is portraying these ages as sort of “straightforward philosophers” and that all they have is the ability of doing or managing farming, working on the fields or doing the work of adults. As he goes on to saying at this stage, the children are short in their oral and theoretical matters.
Rousseau supposes that once the child gets to adolescence, they have developed knowing that they are able to deal with theoretical ideas and wanting to know or learn something in science and morals. Rousseau expanded his educational procedures using an unreal pupil named Emile. As Rousseau moves on to

describing how Emile would be educated, the resemblance linked to his ideas and Locke’s.
Locke feels sure that parents shouldn’t reward their children when they really want things that are unnecessary and Rousseau explains that if Emile desires to look at something he would only give it to Emile if it was a need to learn about it, never when Emile simply desired it.
Rousseau also sensed the same way when he said that Emile would learn to walk and talk on his own and that Rousseau wouldn’t force or correct his pupil. He didn’t want Emile to become fearful or worried. There’s a complication with Rousseau’s theory of development. Emile is an imaginary little boy. He isn’t real, with any of the actual difficulties that boys have while growing up. Rousseau also doesn’t have an award and discipline arrangement just like Locke does which is extremely mainly in teaching.
Locke believes that young kids expand ideas and reactions from associations. Locke also believes that when two thoughts happen together automatically, it can’t be assisted that when one idea is thought of the other is naturally thought of as well. In addition, Locke goes on to naming the different kinds of associations like imitation, repetition, and rewards and punishment. His theory of development is greatly not alike from Rousseau’s, it appears to be that he connects development with cognitive thinking and reasoning from the ages of 2 to 15.
