Juan's age and egocentric thinking skills suggest that he is in the preoperational stage of cognitive development according to Piaget's theory. This stage typically occurs between 2 to 7 years old and is characterized by limitations in logic and reasoning abilities, as well as a focus on one's own perspective (egocentrism).
