Explanation:
1. Erikson's theory is related to psychosocial development. The mother's criticism will not affect the child's ability to think.
2. Erikson's toddler stage is autonomy (independence) versus shame and doubt. The mother's criticism may hinder the child's sense of independence.
3. Conscience is what controls our knowledge of right and wrong and is a component of Kohlberg's theory. The mother's criticism will not affect the child's conscience, according to Kohlberg.
4. In Freudian theory, the superego is the moral and ethical system of the personality. The mother's criticism will not affect the child's superego.
