Detailed explanation-1: -According to Piaget, at age 7 thinking is no longer egocentric, as the child can see more than their own point of view.

Detailed explanation-2: -Egocentrism and Survival 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-3: -While thinking becomes much more logical during the concrete operational state, it can also be very rigid. Kids at this point in development tend to struggle with abstract and hypothetical concepts. During this stage, children also become less egocentric and begin to think about how other people might think and feel.
