The young child's belief that everyone sees and experiences the world the way he or she does. p.162 HGD Chapter 7, pp. 162-163

Examples:
[child was riding in the back seat of a a car, a 3- or 4-year old may suddenly call out "look at that, Mom!" not realizing that Mom can't see the object she"s talking about. More over, the child does not realize that the car's motion prevents Mom from ever seeing the object in question. As a result, the youngster may become frustrated in her attempts to communicate with her mother about what she saw.] media type="youtube" key="SIw4FVQeGWg" height="280" width="467"media type="youtube" key="lAYnPe7WUss" height="268" width="468"
