English This concept relates to the development of a child's social perspective and empathy. In early childhood (ages 5–7), children's understanding is primarily focused on their immediate family and local environment. By the age of 8, children typically enter the stage where their cognitive abilities and social understanding broaden, allowing them to comprehend the existence, lives, and perspectives of people who are physically or culturally distant from them (e.g., people in other countries or different historical periods). This shift marks the transition from purely concrete thinking to early abstract social reasoning.
