29. d. industry vs. inferiority

Erikson refers to this stage of life as the industry versus inferiority stage.

Erikson states when children start to learn new skills then they would become more independent. It influences them to work on even complex tasks in order to gain mastery in those skills.  

The children who are unable to inculcate competency in skills would start to feel insecure and inferior.  On the other hand, children who pass through this stage with competency would have more confidence in themselves.
