Theory of mind refers to one's awareness of one's mental state, cognition, and ideas about other people's mental condition, which can help in their understanding of their own and others' perceptions and possible future behavior (Myers, 2011).

In children, the theory of the mind starts to develop among preschoolers ages 4 to 5. The first skill they acquire is the ability to understand what they want and others and the ways one can get what they desire (Lowry, n.a). Psychologists have recognized that the theory of mind flourishes as a child engages in pretend play and socializes with parents and peers.
