STAGES

• Middle Childhood (6/7-11)

MIDDLE CHILDHOOD (SCHOOL YEARS)

• Freud:
• Latency Age (6-11years):
• Early – self management may be harder
• Late
• Inactive urges -> Sublimated into tasks
• Observation of play (same sex play)
• Development of superego
• Predisposed to guilt/disappointment
• + self esteem -> Academic achievement, extra curricular and relationships with peers
• Inner world is shifting from family to broader networks (peers and teachers)
CONTINUED

• Erikson
• Industry vs inferiority 6-11
• Outcome: competence
• Going to school
• Learning new skills (evaluations)
• Sense that producing things = getting recognition
CONTINUED

• Piaget
• Cognitively: concrete operations (7-11)
• Arithmetic
• Starting to understand others’ viewpoints
• Inductive reasoning (specific -> general)
• Conservation (when something changes in shape/appearance, it is still the same) – e.g.
conservation of liquid

ADOLESCENCE

• Second individuation – parent relationships change again

• Puberty and bodily changes
• Early adolescence: more focus on body, worry about “Accidents”
