A
During the preschooler period, children are focused on developing initiative and purpose. This is a time of very energetic learning. The child participates in play and work with energy and enthusiasm, and he develops a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in activities. This increases the child's ability to use initiative. Developing a sense of basic trust is a task of infancy. Developing the ability to tolerate delayed gratification and to tolerate separation from parents are principal developmental tasks of the toddler stage.
