Detailed explanation-1: -A parent allows their child to pick out their own clothes to wear to preschool-even if the clothes are mismatched. A caregiver toilet-trains their child and the child gains a sense of independence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Success leads to feelings of autonomy, failure results in feelings of shame and doubt. This stage occurs during the preschool years, between the ages of three and five. The child begins to assert control and power over their environment by planning activities, accomplishing tasks and facing challenges.
