This book is a sub-series of the Healthy Psychological Self-Help series, corresponding to the early childhood stage, facing three early development crises:
First, the "Trust vs. Mistrust" crisis from birth to one year. The main task of infants in this stage is to meet their physiological needs, develop a sense of trust, overcome mistrust, and experience the realization of hope. Infants experience physical well-being and security from the satisfaction of their physiological needs, thus developing a fundamental sense of trust in their surroundings. Conversely, infants develop a sense of mistrust, or suspicion, towards their environment.
Second, the "Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt" crisis from one to three years. During this stage, children primarily gain a sense of autonomy while overcoming shame and doubt, experiencing the realization of will.
Third, the "Initiative vs. Guilt" crisis from three to six years. This stage is the preschool and play period, where the main developmental task is to gain a sense of initiative while overcoming guilt, experiencing the realization of purpose.
This sub-series explores developmental, adaptive, behavioral, and educational issues that arise in infants and young children from the perspectives of growth and development, adaptation, behavior, and education, offering positive suggestions and effective methods for teachers and parents on how to handle children in this age group. Based on our research, this book summarizes the current psychological problems of young children into six major parts: growth and development, language development, personality and social development,, and family education.
