CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -speech in which there is no attempt to exchange thoughts or take into account another person’s point of view.

Detailed explanation-2: -Egocentric speech involves a child talking to him or herself for self-guidance, usually through an activity. For example, a four-year-old girl may say things aloud when playing on her own or explain what she is doing, as if she was talking to someone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Private speech is speech spoken to oneself for communication, self-guidance, and self-regulation of behaviour. It is between the ages of two and seven that children can be observed engaging in private speech. Although it is audible, it is neither intended for nor directed at others.

Detailed explanation-4: -Syncretistic thought produces what Piaget calls Egocentric Speech. In egocentric speech, since the child is the center of the universe, the assumption is that people will understand what is said no matter how it is said, because “what the child knows, everyone knows."
