Autonomy vs. Shame is a stage in Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development that typically occurs between the ages of 18 months and 3 years. During this critical period, children begin to assert their independence and develop a sense of personal control over physical skills and decision-making. Successful navigation of this stage leads to autonomy and confidence, while failure can result in feelings of shame and doubt in one's abilities.
