Accepted Answer

Egocentrism : According to piaget's theory of development, egocentrism is an inability of children to be aware of any point of view other than their own. This is normal at early stages of development. If this persists into adulthood, one might be said to have an egocentric personality.

Question 10

what are good personality traits to have as a caregiver?

Accepted Answer

Caring and giving.: It's not trite to say that the very nature of a caregiver is in the definition of the word itself. Other qualities such as patience, persistence, good insight and judgement are more than desireable, they are necessary. Being a true caregiver can be very draining emotionally and physically so i would add healthy and even tempered to the list. If some of those aren't there you can learn them.
