Detailed explanation-1: -According to Erikson, children in middle and late childhood are very busy or industrious (Erikson, 1982). They are constantly doing, planning, playing, getting together with friends, and achieving. This is a very active time, and a time when they are gaining a sense of how they measure up when compared with peers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Third, Erikson (1959) characterized middle childhood as a time of “industry versus inferiority” when the child’s attention is focused on acquiring new competencies and skills and learning how to get along with others, including peers and adults across a variety of contexts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Erikson’s fourth stage of identity typically occurs between the ages of 7-13 and involves industry vs. inferiority. When a child successfully navigates this stage, they develop competency. Competency becomes a big part of confidence as we develop in life and plays a strong role in the next stage of identity.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stage 2: Autonomy Versus Shame and Doubt. Stage 3: Initiative Versus Guilt. Stage 4: Industry Versus Inferiority. Stage 5: Identity Versus Role Confusion.
