2- Describe and give examples of effective parenting techniques for this developmental stage.
3- In your opinion, what are the most challenging behaviors of this stage? (a way to state this without using the word “I” might look like ” Many may feel the most challenging behaviors are…..” )

5- What do you think is the most important aspect/concept and/or theory of the stage you chose and why? ( a way to write this without using the word “I” could start like ” Perhaps the most important aspect……”
