Key Concepts

Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

This stage, which typically occurs during the toddler years, involves the child beginning to assert independence through activities such as feeding, dressing, and bathing. Successfully managing these tasks leads to the development of a sense of autonomy and self-confidence, while failure or excessive criticism can result in feelings of shame and doubt in one's abilities.

The resolution of these conflicts at various stages contributes to the formation of core psychological strengths and the overall self-concept.
