In the formative years of 5 to 7, children create vital narratives that define their identity and expectations from the world, impacting their beliefs and decision-making processes. Unhealthy narratives can arise, such as "I'm to blame" or viewing anger as destructive—often due to a child's egocentrism and the need for parents to be perceived as infallible figures. These narratives, ingrained during critical developmental stages, can significantly influence an individual's self-concept and interpersonal relationships throughout their life.
"In our first 5 to 7 years of childhood, we form key, lifelong narratives that tell us who we are, what to expect from others, and how the world generally works."
"Young children are naturally egocentric and have trouble imagining how other people experience things, often believing they are at the center of everything that happens around them."
