Piaget/Erikson/Kolhberg
Piaget believed that children in this stage are developing their motor skills and a curiosity for the world around them. He believes that abstract thought is difficult at this time such as children having difficulty understanding their whole self.
Erikson believed that children were developing characteristics and emotions such as empathy and humor. They learned to trust or mistrust certain people. They are learning more about other people than themselves according to Erikson.
Kohlberg believes that children are rather selfish in their way of thinking during this time. They are interesting in who they are and what they can get such as a focus on reward rather than punishment as they continue to grow and develop.
