Piaget's concept of egocentrism refers to a child's inability to understand that other people may have different perspectives or thoughts than their own. In this scenario, the daughter is interrupting her father because she is solely focused on her own perspective and interests, without consideration for her father's activities or possible desire for uninterrupted reading time.
