Answer 1

Erik Erikson called the toddler stage the Stage of Autonomy, and the preschool stage the Stage of Initiative. In the toddler stage, children learn to assert their independence and explore their environment. In the preschool stage, children learn to plan and achieve goals while developing a sense of purpose.

Step-by-step explanation:

Erik Erikson called the toddler stage the Stage of Autonomy and the preschool stage the Stage of Initiative.

In the toddler stage (ages 1-3 years), children learn to assert their independence and control their actions. This stage is focused on the resolution of the autonomy versus shame and doubt conflict. Toddlers explore their environment, make choices, and develop a sense of autonomy.

In the preschool stage (ages 3-6 years), children learn to plan and achieve goals while interacting with others. This stage is focused on the resolution of the initiative versus guilt conflict. Preschoolers initiate activities and assert control over their world through social interactions and play, developing a sense of purpose and self-confidence.
