INTRODUCTION The development theorist, Erick Erikson,

formulated eight stages of man's psychosocial development. Each stage is regarded as a "psychosocial crisis" which arises and demands resolution before the next stage can be

achieved.

Preschool children belong to the fourth stage of Erikson's psychosocial stage.

Erik Erikson's Fourth Stage of Psychosocial Development

Industry vs. Inferiority is the phychosocial crisis that children will have to resolve in this stage. Industry refers to a child's involvement in situations where long, patient work is demandedof them, while inferiority is the feeling created when a child gets a feeling of failure when they finish or master thier school work.

In this stage, children, will most likely, have

begun going to school. School experiences become the priority,with children so busy doing school work. The encouragement of parents and caring educators helps to build a child's sense of self-esteem, strengthening their confidence and ability to interact positively in the world.

UNDERSTANDING THE SELF

One's self-concept is the knowledge about the self,such as beliefs regarding personalityt raits, physical characteristics, abilities,values, goals and roles.

It also involves a sense of belonging and acceptance, a sence of good and sence of being capable of doing good.

Having a healthy self-concept does not mean that a chid thinks he is better than others. It means that he likes himself, accepted by his family and friends and believes that he can do well.

Primary school children's self-concept is

influenced not only by their parents, but also by growing number of people they begin to interact with,including teachers and classmates.

Chidren have a growing understanding of their place in the world. They already know that they can please their parent and teachers. They are comportable and show confidence in doing thing they are good at, but also show frustration in things that they find difficult.

SCHOOL YEARS In the transition from pre-elementary to primary

school, children tend to become increasingly self-confident and able to cope well with social interactions. They are not focused on themselves anymore but are also aware of the needs and desires of others.

The issues of fairness and equality become important to them as they learn to care for people who are not part of their families.

Characteristics like loyalty and dependability are being considered as well as responsibity and kindness.

"What is a FRIEND? A single soul dwelling in two bodies."

-Aristotle

Making friends is a crucial but very important part of chidren's social and emotional growth. As soon as they are able to walk and talk,they will tend to show natural inclination to be around other children.

Children, during this stage, most likely belong to a peer group. Peer groups are charactirized by children who belong approximately to the same age group and same social economic status.

It is found along the stages of childhood through adolescence. But for children, until the age of seven or eight, they think of themselves more than that others. They may play well with groups but may need some time to play alone.

Primary school children prefer to belong to peer groups of the same gender. Many children will use their surroundings to observe and mingle with other children. Some will see this as an opportunity to make friends while others remain a bit of a loner.

ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIORSome adult may perceive that some

children's behavoir towards other children as antisocial. When children poke, pull, hit or kick other children when they are first introduced, it is fairly normal. Remember that children at this stage are still forming their own world veiws and other children may seem like a curiosity that they need to explore. Parents and Teachers can help children make friends

You can consider the following:

Expose the children to kid-rich evironment (e.g. playground, park)

Create a play group in your class and let the chidren mingle with their classmates.

When your children hit other children, remind them that their behavior hurts others.

Coordinate with the parents and other teachers so that the children will have grater opportunity to interact with other children.

SELF-CONTROL

Once children reach shool age, they begin to take pride in thier ability to do things and their capacity to exert effort. They like receiving positive feedback from their parents and teachers. This becomes a great oppurtunity for parents and teachers to encourage positive emotional responses from children by acknowledging their mature, compassionate behaviors.
