Detailed explanation-1: -The preoperational stage occurs from 2 to 6 years of age, and is the secondstage in Piaget’s stages of cognitive development. Throughout most of the preoperational stage, a child’s thinking isself-centered, or egocentric.
Detailed explanation-2: -Children may have egocentric traits if they are suffering adverse childhood experiences (ACES). This will impact upon their ability to think, interact with others and on their ability to learn as physical, emotional or cognitive experiences required for normal development are either inadequate or absent.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is egocentric thinking in young children? Egocentric thinking is the normal tendency for a young child to see everything that happens as it relates to them. This is not selfishness. Young children are unable to understand different points of view.
