Piaget's concept of egocentrism refers to a child's inability to understand that others have different perspectives and thoughts than their own. In this scenario, Mr. Tong's daughter is interrupting him with her own thoughts and interests, without considering that he may be busy or engaged in something else. This behavior is typical of a child who has not yet fully developed the ability to understand the thoughts and feelings of others.
