In this stage, I explored the questions "Is it safe here?" and "Should I trust him/her?"
I resolved this crisis with Trust. My family was supportive and loving. I knew I was safe with them.
Furthermore, I was given the "sensitive, responsive, consistent caregiving" that our textbook describes as crucial to developing trust.

This stage was where I discovered who I was and if I was allowed to be myself.
I resolved this crisis with autonomy. My family gave me freedom to express myself freely with my own personality. My parents "set appropriate limits" that caused me to feel some degree of "shame and doubt [to] help [me] recognize the need for those limits."

At this point in my life I was looking to answer the question "Is it okay to do what I do, what I want to do?"
I resolved this crisis with Initiative. Within bounds, I was allowed to do what I wished in order to be pleasing. Children at these ages "are learning that some of the things they want to do meet social approval, whereas others do not."

"Am I good enough?" is the big question here. The crisis in this stage is all about how competent I am and whether or not I am pleasing to those around me. During this stage, I worked hard for my family to fill in the missing pieces, resolving this crisis in Industry. I felt a strong sense of purpose and was given lots of encouragement and support to keep doing what I was doing. The textbook explains that part of the child remains a child and part of him/her has a desire to test new things to become an adult.

This stage is where teenagers answer the questions "Who am I?" and "Who should I be?" As for most teenagers, this crisis was monumental for me. I resolved this crisis with Identity. While at first I was confused, I ended up getting saved by Jesus and have since developed a strong sense of identity and purpose. As the textbook says, this stage results "to become a unique adult with a coherent sense of self and a valued role in society."

In this stage, the questions being asked are "Who am I really, especially in relation to other people?" and "How can I show my love to others?" I am resolving this crisis with Intimacy. Intimacy in relationships is of high importance to me right now. I am seeking and achieving meaningful relationships.

Ages 40-65: A photo with my wonderful mother-in-law who is in this stage is such an inspiration to me! I hope to be like her!

Questions answered in this stage are "What can I do?" and "Can I help future generations?"
I anticipate that I will resolve with Generativity as I have a strong sense of God-given purpose. I may struggle with this one, but the Holy Spirit will help me. I will find meaning in doing God's good works.

In this stage of development, we ask "How did I do?" This is where we evaluate how we lived our lives and whether we are satisfied or not. God's given purpose never disappoints. I will find satisfaction in God's will for my life. Of course, there will always be lies about not doing enough.
