Question 1
If a child experiences repeated failures during the period of middle childhood, Erikson believes that the likely consequence would be the development of a sense of:
◦ mistrust
◦ stagnation
◦ loneliness
◦ inferiority
Question 2
If a child is having a great deal of trouble learning to read, and if you wanted to encourage him in the development of positive self-esteem, the best way you might do this is to:
◦ punish him when he makes reading mistakes
◦ make sure he works on his reading homework before he is allowed to do something more fun
◦ keep telling him he is a good reader, even though he isn't
◦ have him get involved in something he is good at, such as music or sports
