Answer: Fantasy period

Explanation: This is a period when children imagine, fantasize about a future call, or a period of vocational development, and it occurs during early and middle childhood. The only insight that children have about future careers and preoccupations is based on fantasies. In doing so, children do not have an insight into the real career parameters they are dreaming and fantasizing about, but rather a reflection of their inner needs. As their internal needs change, they change their careers that they are dreaming about. At any attempt by the elderly to present to them some of the real things related to these careers, children react by completely ignoring all these facts presented. Children are guided by inner needs and are attracted by some of their imagined careers, which in their fantasy excites them, or they seem familiar to them.
