Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stage that Francis is at is industry vs. inferiority, which occurs during middle childhood (ages 6-12). Children at this stage are eager to learn new skills and take on tasks that they perceive as meaningful. Building a playhouse is an example of this desire to be productive and competent, which is characteristic of the industry stage. In contrast, children who fail to accomplish tasks during this stage may develop feelings of inferiority.
