Kathleen is 2 years old. She very much wants to do things for herselfdressing herself, brushing her teeth, and so onin the morning. Most of the time her mother will not let her do such things because she is so slow and clumsy. Today Mom tells Kathleen she can dress herself, but before long Mom is saying: Kathleen, you've got your pants on backwards again Can't you ever put your clothes on right? Here, let me do it. You're making me late for work. If Kathleen hears this kind of talk very often, Erikson suggests that Kathleen might be at risk for developing a sense of:
 
  a. mistrust (rather than trust)
  b. guilt (rather than initiative)
  c. inferiority (rather than industry)
  d. shame and doubt (rather than autonomy)
