Self-control and interpersonal control are the tasks of the early childhood stage of psychosocial development, according to erikson. This is the second stage of the theory of psychosocial development by Erikson. It is primarily focused on developing a sense of self control for children. This is the stage where the children starts to have a little freedom. They would begin making actions and decisions on their own on what they prefer. For Erikson, children that are able to complete this stage would feel more confident and secure about their selves while children who do not would be left with self-doubt and the feeling of inadequacy.
