Answer: Initiative V guilt

Explanation: Initiative VS Guilt stage is the third of eight stages in Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. This occurs between 3 to 6 years of age, when children tends to be assertive by exploring their environment using their skills and power initiating friendship, social interaction and showcasing their own creative ability in their little way. At this stage, it is important that the environment through parents, teachers and other caregivers appreciate, help develop and nurture their initiative skill. If these skills and initiative ability isn't appreciated by the environment, as in when there is a negative response to their initiative, such children are clouded by guilt.
