learn that they can control their actions and act on their environment to get results.

and asserting control over their world through social interactions and play.
4. Industry vs. Inferiority- elementary school stage (ages 6-12), children face the task of industry
vs. inferiority. Children begin to compare themselves with their peers to see how they measure
up.
5. Identity vs. Role Confusion- adolescence (ages 12-18), children face the task of identity vs.
role confusion. According to Erikson, an adolescent's main task is developing a sense of self.
Adolescents struggle with questions such as "Who am I?" and "What do I want to do with my
life?" Along the way, most adolescents try on many different selves to see which ones fit; they
explore various roles and ideas, set goals, and attempt to discover their "adult" selves.
6. Intimacy vs. Isolation- early adulthood (20s through early 40s) are concerned with intimacy
vs. isolation. After we have developed a sense of self in adolescence, we are ready to share our
life with others.
