Initiative vs. guilt.

Explanation:

Initiative vs. guilt is the third stage from the Erikson's eight stages of personality development. It generally lies from the age of 3 to 5 years. the children at this stage exert greater control over their lives by planning activities, accomplishing tasks and facing challenges. The role of caretaker at this stage is essential because sometimes they discourage children or become frustrated and children feel ashamed or guilty.
