I need help with Research Erikson's stage autonomy v shame and doubt and industry v inferiority where I have to give definition, based on research and summarise the stage relevant the preschool child and also the teaching strategies or resources environment which support this development aspect
- My answer so far ,
Autonomy versus shame and doubt is the second stage of Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development which occurs between the toddler’s years (aged18 months to approximately two to three years child). According to Erikson, children at this stage are focused on expressing their growing physical independent and bodily control needs.
Gaining a sense of personal control over the world is important at this stage of development. Toilet training plays a major role; learning to control one’s body functions leads to a feeling of control and a sense of independence. Other important events include gaining more control over food choices, toy preferences and clothing selection.
Children who successfully complete this stage feel secure and confident, while those who do not are left with a sense of inadequacy and self-doubt.
Teaching strategies- In this stage children want to go everywhere and try different things so as a caregiver it is very important to let them play but with some limits of safe and appropriate behaviour, Suppose children want to jump or climb the obstacle course so as an educator our responsibility, let them do it under the proper supervision making sure the environment is safe, instead of stopping them to do it for fear of hurt or failure which may lead child doubt in their own abilities.
Industry versus inferiority is the fourth stage of Erik Erikson's of psychosocial development, which occurs between the ages of six and eleven. School and social interaction play an important role during this time of a child’s life. Through social interactions, children begin to develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments and abilities.
During the industry versus inferiority stage, children become capable of performing complex tasks. As a result they make great effort to master new skills. Children who are encouraged and show interest by parents and teachers develop a feeling of competence and belief in their skills. Those who receive little or no encouragement from parents, teachers, or peers will doubt their ability to be successful.
Teaching strategy- As a caregiver by showing interest on what children doing and motivating them to take their skills to next level.
