Any idea about Stage 3? So, Stage 4 is the period of Thinking: Eighteen Months to Three Years. Begin to establish a new sense of independence, individuality, and separateness in Stage 3. Start to reason things out, think for ourselves, and solve our problems. Developmental Tasks of the Child in this stage includes: establishing the ability to think for oneself; to think and solve problems with cause-and-effect thinking, to test reality, push against boundaries and other people, to start to follow simple safety commands, to express anger and other feelings, to separate from parents, caregivers, and other significant parent figures without losing their love and start to give up beliefs about being the center of the universe. In our First experience of this stage, our curiosity is heightened as well as our intuitiveness. Returning to Thinking refers to Feeling angry in general, wanting to establish what is “mine” and what is “yours”, inappropriate rebelliousness and fear of anger in self and others; indirect expressions of anger through behaviors. This is a time of testing reality and pushing against limits in ourselves and those imposed by others.
