Question

Researchers have found that 2- to 7-year-old children are actually less egocentric than Piaget thought. What is an example of a toddler understanding the perspective of someone else

Answer 1

When a toddler dreams that he or she is someone else.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

• when a toddler speaks in long sentences to babies.
• when a toddler eats his or her meal as quickly as possible.
• when a toddler breaks the favourite toy of an older sibling to annoy him or her.
• when a toddler dreams that he or she is someone else.

When a toddler dreams that he is someone else, the toddler demonstrates that he is able to put himself in the perspective of a different person. Moreover, he is able to realize that the people who surround him have different experiences and a different understanding of the world when compared to his. This demonstrates that they are not at egocentric as Piaget thought.

Answer 2

Showing empathy

Step-by-step explanation:

Most children do not understand the perspective of others between the ages of 2-9. This "Theory of mind" scenario does not provide for them to understand something from another person's point of view. Perspective-talking is one way to begin teaching children what is is like from another person's point of view. This is done by teaching the child to understand what it feels like to be someone else.

Glimpses of this is often seen in younger children as it is developing for example: A three year old will be able to show perspective by setting up a tea party and role playing with her toys. She is pretending to be each one and speak for each one and understand the experience of the play through each of her characters.
