• In the second stage of psychosocial development, Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt (2-3 years), children begin to assert independence from their parents but may also experience feelings of shame if they fail at tasks.
• The first stage of psychosocial development according to Erikson is Trust versus Mistrust (0-1 year). During this time, infants develop trust or mistrust in their caregivers based on how well they are cared for.
• The third stage is Initiative versus Guilt (3-5 years) where children develop initiative and creativity but can feel guilty when things do not go as planned or when they are punished for misbehavior.
• Industry versus Inferiority (6-12 years): Children become more self-reliant and focused on achieving success in school and other activities, with inferiority complexes developing if they perceive themselves as failures.
• Identity versus Role Confusion (12-18 years): Adolescents struggle to establish an identity separate from their family and peers while facing societal pressures and expectations.
• According to Erikson's theory, during the third stage of psychosocial development, Initiative versus Guilt (3-5 years), young children develop initiative and confidence in their abilities while learning to control impulses and accept responsibility for actions.
• During the fourth stage of psychosocial development, Industry versus Inferiority (6-11 years), children develop a sense of competence and mastery over tasks, which can lead to a strong work ethic later in life.
• The fourth stage is Industry versus Inferiority (6-11 years) where children strive for competence and achievement but may feel inferior if they struggle academically or socially.
• During the fourth stage, Industry versus Inferiority (6-11 years), children focus on developing skills and abilities while facing the risk of feeling inferior if they lack competence.
