Answer
Autonomy versus shame and doubt is a central conflict in early childhood, as proposed by Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. During this stage, children begin to assert their independence and individuality, but they also become increasingly aware of societal expectations and the potential for disapproval. This can lead to feelings of shame and self-doubt if their actions don't align with those expectations.
