Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: In the infancy years (birth to 18 months), the child's central task is to form trust or mistrust with people. Positive resolution would indicate a safe feeling when the parents leave the child with someone they are familiar with and can trust.
Rationale 2: Positive resolution would indicate a safe feeling when the parents leave the child with someone they are familiar with and can trust. Negative resolution would indicate mistrust, withdrawal, and estrangement.
Rationale 3: Willfulness and defiance are negative indicators of the early childhood stage.
Rationale 4: Playing with other children is apart of the self-esteem and self-expression of the early childhood years.
