Which of the following is a characteristic of Erikson's stage of 'Initiative vs Guilt' (ages 3-6)?

ERIKSON'S STAGES OF PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT: INITIATIVE vs GUILT (ages 3-6, preschool): Children begin to assert themselves — taking initiative in play, pretend play, asking questions, directing activities. When adults encourage initiative, the child develops the virtue of PURPOSE. When adults consistently criticise, punish initiative, or don't allow independent activity, the child develops GUILT about their own impulses and desires. NURSING APPLICATION: Preschool hospitalisation — allow children to make some choices (which arm for IV, what colour bandage), play with medical equipment beforehand, encourage pretend play about medical scenarios; DEVELOPMENTAL CONTEXT: Other stages — Trust vs Mistrust (0-18 months, infancy); Autonomy vs Shame and Doubt (18 months-3 years); Industry vs Inferiority (6-12 years, school age); Identity vs Role Confusion (12-18 years, adolescence).
