As children slowly grow out of their egocentrism, they will be inclined to learn more about their selves and others in general. Understanding others will aid in their learning to make their own decisions.

Since their thinking is still concrete, basic roles of family and community members can be discussed. Besides learning about members of the community, they can learn about the where of the community. Basic geography will broaden their spacial awareness.

Examples: discussing sympathy and empathy, local heroes (police, fire fighters, etc.), shopping in different stores with family, problem solving.
