Document Summary
Freud: described two stages during preschool years. The anal stage (1 to 3 years) and the phallic stage. Social-cognitive theory assumes that social and emotional changes in the child are the result of the enormous growth in cognitive abilities that happens during the preschool years. Social conventions rules that have nothing to do with our fundamental sense of right and wrong. Most people are not troubled when they are violated and take a dim view of people who are bothered by them. Social-cognitive theorists have found that children between 2 and 3 begin to respond differently to violations of different kinds of rules. Children understand that intentional wrongdoing is punished more severely than unintentional transgressions of the rules. As a result, many of them change their behavior to gain social acceptance. Also, some shy toddlers are encouraged by their parents to be more sociable.
