Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erikson believed that the school-age period (around ages 5–12) is a crucial time for children's social and cognitive development. During this time, children are eager to learn and explore, and are capable of a wider range of activities and more complex thinking than at earlier ages. This period is characterized by Erikson as the stage of industry vs. inferiority, in which children develop a sense of competence and mastery through their achievements in school, sports, and other social interactions.
