Children at this stage are primarily motivated by self-interest and do not yet have a developed sense of empathy or consideration for others.

As they progress through this stage, they begin to understand that actions have consequences and develop a basic understanding of right and wrong.

Which of these stages is irrelevant when children transit into groups?
- A.
  
  Maintenance
- B.
  
  Remembrance
- C.
  
  Socialization
- D.
  
  Investigation
Correct Answer
C. Socialization

Explanation
When children transition into groups, the stage of socialization becomes irrelevant. Socialization refers to the process of learning and adopting social norms, values, and behaviors. However, when children are already transitioning into groups, they have likely already gone through the socialization process to some extent. At this stage, their focus is more on maintaining relationships, remembering previous experiences, and investigating new things within the group. Socialization has already taken place, making it irrelevant in this particular context.
