A mother calls for an intake appointment. During the phone call, she shares that her eleven-year-old daughter Jenny is having increased social problems at school. When considering your treatment plan, ensure that you have fully considered whether or not the client is developing appropriately. In terms of social stages, Jenny is in which stage?
  1. Identity v. Role Confusion
  2. Trust v. Mistrust
  3. Industry v. Inferiority
  4. Initiative v. Guilt
Explanation
Answer - C - At this age, usually between ages 6-12, children develop a great sense of industry, but can develop complications around esteem if not immediately addressed. They are not yet old enough to experience identity versus role confusion and have moved beyond trust v. mistrust and initiative v. guilt. This is where the message “you are good enough” plays a big part.
