Child confinement has been an issue of great concern to child educators due to the effects that it presents to a developing child. A confined environment influences a child behavior and limits the scopes of his/her mental development due to lack of exposure to the physical environment and nature. A confined environment also prevents a child from playing with fellow children and this has been shown to impact negatively on a child’s social life in the present and in future (Hebb, 2001). Jean Piaget theory highlights how a child develops and acquires knowledge and intelligence under different environmental conditions. Piaget’s sensorimotor perspective discusses the development of a child from birth to approximately two years and how a child tries to make sense of the surrounding environment. Throughout the sensorimotor phase, a child’s understanding and awareness of the world is restricted to his/her sensory perception and motor events. As a child, the available sensory perceptions that he/she uses are the vision, sucking, grasping and listening to enable them learn about the external environment. Solitude presents an environment that lacks the normal environmental features such as sound, motion and human presence. Confining a child to a solitary cell or alienating him from the natural environmental features around the normal environment limits the development of a child’s sensory perceptions. The child’s vision is limited to the colors of the four walls that surrounds his/her solitary cell or room of confinement. This interferes with sound development of a child’s visual and listening abilities as confinement restricts the what a child sees and listens to as he develops. As seen in victor who was exposed to the natural environment of a forest and thus developed senses that could enable him respond to such an environment, a child in confinement understands how to respond only to such an environment. The development of knowledge and intelligence of a child is highly influenced by the environment and the people around them and this impact on their ability to respond to different environmental stimuli and threats. A confined space lacks the natural environmental stimuli as what gets in and out of that room is limited and controlled. A child therefore develops limited response mechanisms based only on the available stimuli present in the room. Victor the wild boy developed sensory mechanisms that enabled him to develop the ability to respond to stimuli in the forest. The forest is characterized by different stimuli that shape the development of wild animals and victor was thus naturally made to develop such traits. The same forces present in victor influenced by the environmental factors also affect a child that has developed while in solitary confinement. Piaget’s sensorimotor perspective thus provides a basis for explaining the limited development of response to stimuli by children that grow under confinement and solitude. Erickson formulated the development a child through his eight psychosocial stages of development that influences the development and growth.
