What stage of Erikson’s psychosocial development are infants in?
Trust vs mistrust - the child is developing a sense of trust Because an infant is entirely dependent upon his or her caregivers, the quality of care that the child receives plays an important role in the shaping of the child’s personality. During this stage, children learn whether or not they can trust the people around them. When a baby cries, does his caregiver attend to his needs? When he is frightened, will someone comfort him? If a child successfully develops trust, he or she will feel safe and secure in the world. Caregivers who are inconsistent, emotionally unavailable or rejecting contribute to feelings of mistrust in the children they care for. Failure to develop trust will result in fear and a belief that the world is inconsistent and unpredictable.

What stage of Erikson’s psychosocial development are school age children in?
Industry vs interiority At the school-going stage, the child’s world extends beyond the home to the school. The emphasis is on academic performance. There is a movement from play to work. Earlier the child could play at activities with little or no attention given to the quality of results. Now, he needs to perform and produce good results! The child soon learns that he can win recognition from parents, teachers and peers by being proficient in his school work. The attitudes and opinions of others become important. The school plays a major role in the resolution of the developmental crisis of initiative versus inferiority. If children are praised for doing their best and encouraged to finish tasks then work enjoyment and industry may result. Children’s efforts to master school work help them to grow and form a positive self-concept … a sense of who they are. Children who cannot master their school work may consider themselves a failure and feelings of inferiority may arise. A child may also feel a sense of shame if his parents unthinkingly share his “failures” with others. Shame stems from a sense of self-exposure, a feeling that one’s deficiencies are exposed to others.
