From the age between 2-7 years old, a child is in the "preoperational stage" of development, characterized by symbolic representation or thinking and egocentric thinking. The child also tends to plan, perceive, and solve problems based on appearances (e.g. a half cup of water in a wide glass is to him/her smaller in amount compared to the same amount of water in a tall thin glass).
