He is very outgoing and likes to play with his friends. He likes structure, so unless it chaos time, he is trouble free. He was named the "Be Kind" student for his kindergarten class, well deserved as he likes to help others when they are struggling. He is a middle child and looks after his younger brother and enjoys playing with his older brother. His parents though active duty military are very active in his learning, volunteer frequently when need at the school and dad coaches his soccer team. He is a very happy child and seems to be well adjusted despite the frequent work separations from his parents.
"Parents can help this process by easing their authority somewhat and by permitting children to participate with them as equals on interesting projects. In this way, parents can help children emerge from the crisis of this stage (superego) with a strong sense of purpose," the courage to envisage and pursue valued goals," unimpaired by guilt and inhibition (Erikson, 1964, p. 122)"(Crain pg. 289).
Using the theories in our book his parents are helping to establish a health normal adjusted child.
