is one of the main goals of a toddler during the autonomy versus shame and doubt stage?

  1. To explore the environment

  2. To develop a sense of self-worth

  3. To develop empathy for others

  4. To develop abstract thinking skills

The correct answer is: To develop a sense of self-worth

During the autonomy versus shame and doubt stage, toddlers' main goal is to develop a sense of self-worth. This is a crucial stage in their development because it sets the foundation for their self-esteem and confidence in the future. Option A is incorrect because while exploring the environment is an important activity for toddlers, it is not their main goal during this stage. Option C is incorrect because the development of empathy for others typically occurs later on in a child's development. Option D is incorrect because abstract thinking skills are not a primary focus during the autonomy versus shame and doubt stage.
