According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, Daryl is in the stage of Industry vs. Inferiority, which occurs roughly between the ages of 5 and 12. In this stage, children learn to master skills and derive a sense of competence and industry from their accomplishments. If they experience repeated failure or negative feedback, as Daryl has, they may develop feelings of inferiority.
