The third stage of Erik Erikson's psychosocial development is Initiative vs Guilt and occurs during the years of 3 and 6. This does not mean your child should never feel guilt. Children during this stage need to feel some guilt to help develop empathy. The balancing act is to allow children to feel guilt, but not so much that is stifles initiative and independence. During this stage children can learn to balance their independence through healthy relationships.
Environment that are overly structured or controlling can keep children from initiating their own purpose. Excessive screen time can also limit children's ability to use their imagination and their ability to initiate their own activities. When children can not live up overly structured or controlling environment they gain a sense of guilt.
