During which age range does the stage of Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt occur?

Birth to 1 year
Age 1 to 3
Age 3 to 6
Age 6 to puberty

The correct answer is: Age 1 to 3

The stage of Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt occurs between the ages of 1 to 3 years. This developmental stage, as described by Erik Erikson, is crucial for toddlers as they begin to assert their independence and develop a sense of personal control over physical skills and a sense of autonomy. During this period, children are encouraged to explore their environment, make choices, and gain a sense of self-confidence when they are successful. If they are overly restricted or criticized for their efforts, they may develop feelings of shame and doubt about their abilities. Understanding this developmental milestone is important for social workers as it informs approaches to supporting young children and their families during this formative period.
