Personal Story Middle chilhood refers to the time period of when a child is between the ages six and eleven years old. During this time is when school begins to play a major role in the development of a kid along with the guidance of family members. According to Erickson’s Psychosocial Stages, the child begins to work with others and if they receive negative feedback from their experience they develop a feeling of inferiorty instead of a feeling of belonging. This stage is known as Industry versus inferiority. The Latency stage of Freud’s Psychosexual Stages corresponds to Erickson’s stage but it conveys a different meaning. Freud believed that during this time sexual instincts from Early Childhood begin to disappear and the child’s superego begins to develop even more. The superego acts as the child’s conscience and supposedly makes the child want to conform themself to match the expectation of whomever is around them. It is also during the latency stage that the child gains new values from being around adults outside of their family and from playing with members of the same sex.
