The difference is that the child can use his ego without breaking the rules. Don't compete with your child, this is a process by which a child forms himself. Self-awareness is a more important part of all critical periods, because what kind of person a child will become in the future and whether he has a strong ability first comes from the critical period of self-awareness formation. Therefore, to ensure this critical period for the formation of self-awareness is equivalent to ensuring the strength of the child's future personality, the harmony of his personality, and the ability to establish a foothold in society in the future.
