During this stage, the family finally loses its place of primacy as a social institution, as peer

childhood comes to an end when a person has developed the skills and tools to proceed into
adulthood. First, however, there is the period in which one’s body changes from a child to an
adult: puberty. Known psychologically as adolescence, it is a period in which each person must
determine how they will fit their particular skills into the adult world of their culture. This
requires forming one’s identity. The fidelity that Erikson speaks of refers to the ability to remain
true to oneself and to one’s significant others. This period is easiest for children who are gifted
and well trained in the pursuit of clear goals, and also for children who receive a good deal of
affirmation.
