A. Sexual curiosity typically emerges in later stages of development and is not a primary characteristic of the toddler stage.
B. Erikson's stage of initiative versus guilt occurs in early childhood (ages 3 to 6) and involves the child's exploration of the world and taking initiative in activities, leading to a sense of purpose or potential guilt if they're restricted or criticized.
C. Imaginary playmates might appear around this age but are not the primary characteristic defining this stage of development.
D. Negative behaviors associated with the need for autonomy are more commonly observed in toddlers, but they are not the defining characteristic of this developmental stage.
