Industry vs. Inferiority, Inferiority may result

Erik Erikson studied human development and discovered 7 stages of psychosocial development. Industry v. Inferiority occurs from ages 5-11. Alexis is trying to be productive and explore curiosity (industry) however, her teacher is denying her these opportunities which could cause a sense of inferiority.
