- The child at this age cannot understand the other’s point of view. In this sense, the child in this age group tends to think that what s/he thinks and understands is the understanding all have and that there can be no other view of this.
Thinking in Early Childhood is marked by:
- Egocentricim: Have difficulties seeing things from another person’s point of view, they think their own perspective is the only one possible. Eg: If a little boy is afraid of dogs, he may assume that all children share this fear
- Realism: At this stage is the child’s increasing ability to represent reality in terms of symbols and engage therefore in symbolic interaction with the environment and his/her world of imagination. The child works best with the world of her immediate surroundings and her own perceptions of reality.
Hence, we can conclude that a child of 6 or 7 years old is not able to accept other's view point because he is ego centric.
