The Piaget Theory is a developmental theory developed by Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget.  The “theory of child development” is quite detailed, and describes four separate stages of cognitive development, in the following sequence:

Wonderful! You described it really well. So in which stage do kids start thinking more logically?
user
It’s hard to say precisely, but in my experience, children start thinking more logically in the concrete operations stage.  They’re much better able to understand relationships between things, and develop the concepts of rules and of exceptions to rules.
assistant
Unfortunately, that is wrong! They do it during the formal operations stage. You should have known that given how that stage discusses abstract concepts
user
Are you sure that your statement is correct, given that the abstract concepts are developed much earlier?  Formal Operations is the stage where concrete knowledge and logic become important, as this level develops the ability to see how abstract concepts like numbers can relate to each other in more complex ways.  The preoperational stage involves the concrete and symbolic, but it does not describe abstract relationships among the things in the concrete.
