Independence starts in infants (witness tantrums), and at each stage develops for differing psychological reasons.
See stage 5 (Erickson).

Answer 4

And, I need to add, Erickson grossly simplified the issues, to make development in children "cookbook". I am not of the opinion that is as simple as he suggested, however, I am in the minority on this.
