Answer 3

At least you should have some ideas
if not I don't really get what you've been learning about Piaget or Erikson.

Answer 4

http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Erikson's_stages_of_psychosocial_development

Erikson (Student of Freud) "accepted many of Freud's theories, [...] but rejected Freud's attempt to describe personality solely on the basis of sexuality." "[In] 'Childhood and Society' (1950), he divided the human life cycle into eight psychosocial stages of development," each set by a "crisis" that must be overcome to move on.

Child 4-6
Crisis: Initiative vs. Guilt
Main Q: “Am I good or bad?”
Strength Developed (virtue): purpose
Central focus: Identification
Positive outcome: Able to initiate activities and enjoy learning
Developmental tasks: Sex-role identification, fantasy play, early moral development, self-esteem, group play

ONE
Reassure them, e.g. give positive comments about their capabilities and sense of worth (i.e., instill intrinsic motivation). Duly, avoid discouraging them from doing a goal independently.

I am a summer camp counselor, and one thing the "pee-wees" (age 4-5) do are duties/responsibilities. They are given titles related to their "job" (task):
before leaving check if the bathroom lights are turned off;
find garbage after lunch;
help hand out mattresses/blankets.

In sum, be encouraging--but consistent in discipline. They will learn to accept without guilt or confusing guilt, that certain things are not allowed.

TWO [be cont.]
