Answer:
Autonomy
Explanation:
Erik Erikson was a psychologist who developed a theory of psychosocial development according to which people go through different stages along their lifespan and each stages is formed by a crisis that the individual has to face and solve in order to move to the next one.
The second stage of this theory is called Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt and it takes place between the ages of 18 months to approximately 3 years. During this stage, toddlers develop a sense of personal control over physical skills (as this is the stage where they undergo potty training) and then they develop a sense of independence.
Therefore, we can see that Brien's child will pass through a stage called Autonomy versus shame and doubt as she undergoes potty training.
