Question

Abigail's preschool teacher has witnessed a change in the complexity of Abigail's play. Abigail used to love to stack blocks and knock them down. Recently, she has begun to build houses with the blocks and to ask her teacher if she can keep her houses to show her father when he picks her up. According to Erikson, what is Abigail developing?

Answer 1

Initiative

Step-by-step explanation:

The third stage of development according to Erikson is that of initiative vs. guilt. The main feature of this stage is that the child begins to interact with other children, usually at school. These interactions usually revolve around play. Children develop a sense of initiative when they feel secure in their ability to guide others, propose new games and activities, or make decisions.
