According to Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development, which stage occurs between the ages of 5-12?

The stage that occurs between the ages of 5-12 in Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development is Industry vs. Inferiority. During this stage, children are focused on developing a sense of competence and self-esteem through their abilities and accomplishments. They begin school and engage in various activities where they can demonstrate skills, work collaboratively, and indeed feel a sense of mastery over tasks. Successful resolution of this stage fosters a feeling of industry, where children feel they can achieve and contribute, leading to confidence in their abilities. Conversely, if they struggle or receive negative feedback, they may develop feelings of inferiority and doubt about their skills and contributions. This stage is vital for forming a foundation of confidence that can support them in future endeavors.
