The early childhood stage extends from two years to about six years. The characteristics of early childhood are as follows:

  • Parents call this age ‘toy age’ as children play with toys. 
  • Educators call this age ‘preschool age’ as the child starts going to preschool. 
  • Psychologists term this age as ‘pregang age’ as in the previous stage the child plays alone and does not share his toys but now he starts mixing around. 
  • Children in this stage experience stranger anxiety or separation anxiety.
