Explanation / Answer

1. Temperament

A child's temperament is described as the way in which he/she approaches and reacts to the world. It is defined as their personal style that is present from birth. Temperament is influential in a child's behavior, how he/she interacts with others and development of his/her personality.

2. Preoperational Stage

This stage starts at 2 years and lasts almost till 7 years of age. Child is engaged in symbolic and imaginative plays. The child is egocentric (difficulty in seeing through other's viewpoint).

3. Trust vs. Mistrust

It is the first stage in Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. It lasts from 0 to 18 months. The availability of parents and care by them will help them win child's trust. This will lead to successful completion of stage developing trust, and hope in the child. Failure leads to mistrust, and withdrawing personality later on.

4. Attachment

Infant attachment is defined as the deep emotional connection or tie that the infant forms with his/her primary caregiver. This tie is binding for both and it also leads the infant to experience safety, joy, and comfort in the caregiver's company.
