Infants develop a sense of trust when their caregivers give them care and affection. Sensitive, responsive, consistent caregiving is the key to successful resolution of this conflict. Lacking care and affection causes mistrust. Comforting a crying infant produces trust. Ignoring the infant will cause mistrust. As an infant, I developed a sense of trust with my mother. She would comfort me when I cried and fed me when I was hungry. She loved and cared for me all throughout infancy.

This stage is when toddlers learn personal control and independence. Toddlers begin to substitute their own judgment for their caregivers’. Succeeding leads to feelings of pride and autonomy. Failure results in shame and doubt of oneself. An example would be potty training. I developed autonomy through potty training at around 3 years old. My mom said I was so proud and confident when I finally got potty training down!

This is when children assert control in their environment. Preschool children can do—and want to do—more and more. At the same time, they are learning that some of the things they want to do meet social approval, whereas others do not. Success leads to purpose. Failure leads to disapproval which leads to a sense of guilt. An example would be playing with peers and coming up with new games to play. When I was 5, I liked to make up new games with the neighbor kids. We would have a lot of fun making new games and feeling successful when they went well.

This is when children are learning to cope with new social and academic aspects. Developing a sense of industry involves learning how to work hard to achieve goals. Success leads to feeling accomplished, failure leads to feelings of inferiority. An example would be going to school for the first time. When I started kindergarten, I cried and was very scared. But I quickly adjusted and loved school

This is when children learn a sense of personal identity. Identity forms as young people resolve three major issues: the choice of an occupation, the adoption of values to live by, and the development of a satisfying sexual identity. Success leads to confidence in knowing who you are. Failure leads to confusion with who you are. An example would be social relationships. During adolescence, my mom let me explore my independence and develop a sense of self through letting me learn by experience.

Young adults need to form intimate, caring relationships with others. Success leads to stronger relationships. Failure ends in loneliness or isolation. This is my current stage. I am looking for a partner to be intimate with and have a strong relationship with.

Adults need to create or nurture things that will outlast them. People usually achieve this by having children or being a large part of their community. Success leads to feelings of accomplishment, while failure results in feeling useless. I think I will feel accomplished when I reach this stage because I have children and some close friends to love and nurture.

At this point in development, people look back on their lives and decide if they are happy with the life that they lived or if they have any regrets. If they are happy with how they lived their lives, they will have a sense of integrity. If they are unhappy or have regrets, they will feel despair. When I reach this stage, I think I will feel integrity because I am happy so far with how I have lived my life.
