Question

Amy is five years old. She tried to make her parents breakfast as a surprise. Her parents were certainly surprised when they discovered the considerable mess in the kitchen. Amy is most likely in which of Erikson's stages of development?

Answer 1

Answer:Initiative vs. Guilt

Explanation:

Initiative vs. Guilt

At this stage three of Erickson children are more assertive.

Parents may begin to see agressiveness in behavior. They are more interactive and they are initiative as the way to explore different skills.

Amy is initiating this cooking and if her parents commend and compliment her without focusing on the mess she is likely to not develop guilt which may inhibit her growth and make her retreat back instead of trying new things or exploring new skills.
