Write 2 page essay on the topic Psychology Erikson’s theory.

Micah comes from a middle-class family. Both parents work and he has two brothers and one sister. His friend Sheila is an only child and her father is the CEO of a large company. Sheila’s mother can afford to stay at home. Describe some of the differences in terms of academic achievement, social skills, and self-esteem that you might expect to see between Sheila and Micah

Micah will have lower self-esteem compared to Sheila. Parental modeling is imperative and therefore, self-esteem starts with positive self-talk and positive modeling behaviors

Academically, Micah will also perform poorer that Sheila if all other factors are held constant. The role of a parent in monitoring academic progress cannot be left in the hands of other siblings.

Sheila will also demonstrate excellent social skills when compared to Micah as a result of her mother molding every new behavior that she will develop. In this case, the role of parenting in inculcating social skills can only be done by the parent without delegating.
