According to Erikson’s theory, the correct answer that holds true for most toddlers is that they want to gain a sense of control over their own bodies. It is because the theory focuses more on an individual from being a toddler to late adult hood that emphasizes how they develop and mature by overcoming certain obstacles in life, to adjust well in the environment and as well as knowing one’s identity such as his or her capabilities, what the person describes his or herself and his or her aspirations in life.
