Detailed explanation-1: -Egocentrism in children refers to the child’s inability to see a situation from another person’s point of view. The egocentric child assumes that other people see, hear, and feel exactly the same as they do. In their world, it’s “all about me” most of the time.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Egocentrism refers to someone’s inability to understand that another person’s view or opinion may be different than their own. 1 It represents a cognitive bias, in that someone would assume that others share the same perspective as they do, unable to imagine that other people would have a perception of their own.
Detailed explanation-4: -The preoperational stage can be seen in children ages 2 through 7. Memory and imagination are developing. Children at this age are egocentric, which means they have difficulty thinking outside of their own viewpoints. The main achievement of this stage is being able to attach meaning to objects with language.
