Erik Erikson’s eight stages of psychosocial developments is the theoretical culmination of his research on identity and the ways in which psychoanalysis and socio-cultural factors combine in order to affect the developmental processes in individuals. The developmental stage that we would discuss here is the stage 2 of psychosocial development, which is concerned with toddlers, aged approximately 18 months- 36 months or 1-3 year old (Scheck, 2005). 
In stage 2, the individual starts developing a desire to assert their independence and exercise their autonomy. This is very central for the development of their sense of ‘self’.
