Trust vs. mistrust is Erikson's first stage of development. Within this stage children learn who to trust and who they cannot trust. This stage usually occurs between 0 and 1 years of age.

I solved this stage with mistrust because of my family affair ended and I felt abandoned by someone who cared most for me.
"The critical element in developing trust is sensitive, responsive, consistent caregiving." (Child, Martorell, p. 150)

Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt is Erikson's second stage of development. In this stage children feel as if their body is bad so therefore, they are bad. This is the stage where potty-training usually occurs. Children are between 2-3 years old.

I solved this stage with autonomy because I started doing things for myself and driving myself in certain areas.

"As children are better able to make their wishes understood, they become more powerful and independent." (Child, Martorell, p. 156)

The third stage, initiative versus guilt. In this stage children try to learn and do more which is where they also get in trouble. This stage usually occurs between ages 3 through 6.

I solved this stage with initiative because I wanted to do more and I did not feel guilty about doing more.

''Children who learn how to regulate these opposing drives develop the virtue of purpose, the courage to envision and pursue goals without being unduly inhibited by guilt or fear of punishment." (Child, Martorell, p.210 )

Stage four, Industry versus Inferiority. In this stage children learn the rules of home and school and also learn what is expected of them. This stage occurs between ages 7 and 12.

I solved this stage with industry because I listened to all the rules and was what most people call a "goody two shoes."

"Developing a sense of industry, by contrast, involves learning how to work hard to achieve goals." (Child, Martorell, p. 276)

Stage five, ego-identity vs role confusion. This stage is where young adults tend to figure out who they are. This stage usually occurs between the ages of 12 and 18.

I have solved this stage with role confusion because I still do not know who I am or what I am doing with my life.

"Crisis, within the context of Erikson’s theories, does not refer to a stressful event such as losing your job or not being able to pay your bills. Rather, it refers to the process of actively grappling with what to believe and who to be." (Child, Martorell, p. 336)

Stage six, Intimacy vs isolation. Within this stage people tend to find a partner or isolate themselves. This stage usually occurs in age 20's but can happen later.

I feel as if I am currently in this stage and have solved it with intimacy because I am with someone and live with them.

" Earlier studies described young women as more competent at intimacy than men and suggested intimacy was more closely related to identity formation for women than men" (Child, Martorell, p. 337)

Stage seven, Generativity vs self-absorption. This stage usually occurs between late 20's and 50's. Within this stage people tend to do good for the community and the economy by having kids or being apart of a community.

I am not yet in this stage but I believe I will solve it by generativity.

"women define themselves through marriage and motherhood" (Child, Martorell, p.337)

The last stage, integrity versus despair. This is where people usually look back on their life and also lose people but can gain people too also known as grandchildren.

I believe I will solve this stage by integrity.
