I was thinking, and wondering why Sagar didn't trust Vidya and why he was behaving this way...For a normal adult we could say that he should trust his wife over an outsider, but don't you think in Sagar's case we're expecting too much?He has after all an eight year old's mind..
Piaget's theory:
Preoperational Thought (2 to 8 years)
At this age, according to Piaget, children acquire representational skills in the area of mental imagery, and especially language. They are very self-oriented, and have an egocentric view; that is, preoperational children can use these representational skills only to view the world from their own perspective.
So, taking into account his mental state, he is the way he is...Remember how hard it was to convince Sagar of not being afraid of fire, of getting him to be friends with Sameer...Sagar's mind is in such a state, that it will view only from one angle..Eight year olds can be extremely stubborn...and sagar in a way (okay so most definitely stubborn)
It will be hard to make him budge from his perspective..He may not have the thought to think, that if Vidya is wearing the same sari as the person putting Sameer, in the boat, then it could be someone else...So in a way, him to mistrust Vidya is justified taking into account his mind...
I feel like I've been blabbering psychchology with no distinctive explanation, but...you guys get what I mean right...
Keep smiling...
