According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, children in the concrete operational stage (ages 7-11) begin to understand that others may have different perspectives and opinions than their own. They are able to take the perspective of others in certain situations and are capable of logical reasoning, but still struggle with abstract and hypothetical situations. Dee's understanding that different people have different opinions toward others suggests that she has developed this ability, placing her in the concrete operational stage.
