Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Initiative is one of the stages in Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. This stage occurs between the ages of three and six when children start to explore their environment and become more independent in their actions. A key way of developing initiative is by taking the initiative to act on their own without being prompted by adults. Wanting to help with household tasks like dusting demonstrates the child's willingness to take the initiative and be independent.
