Detailed explanation-1: -Preoperational. 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.
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: -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-4: -Thus, in Piaget’s early work egocentrism refers to a developmental stage that is characterized by the unconsciousness of the self and the lack of differentiation between, on the one hand, ego and world, and ego and alter ego, on the other hand.
