Stage 1 of Erikson's theory starts at birth and continues through the last year of age within this time the infants either learn to trust that their caregivers will meet their basic needs or if these needs are not met consistently it may force the child to form mistrust. When my mom was a baby her mother had her on a schedule for eating as well as sleep. Every time she would cry her mother would feed her. This allowed her to gain the trust of her mother.

Stage 2 of Erikson's theory starts at the age of 18 months and around the age of 2 to 3 years. This stage consists of the child developing a greater sense of self-control. My mother said that her parents did everything for her so she turned out to be doubtful as well as questioning some decisions. This also leads her to have low self-esteem.

Stage 3 of Erikson's theory is based on when a child is put in an environment where initiation is repressed through criticism or control which then the child will develop a sense of guilt. My mother stated that her mom and dad bought her and her brother both fish and that they had to take of their own fish.

Stage 4 of Erikson's theory takes place between the ages of 6 and 11 throughout this stage, the child learns to complete tasks that help with confidence of self-doubt. My mom stated that her mother and teacher would compliment her when she completed certain tasks such as, getting a good grade on a test or homework assignment.

Stage 5 of Erikson's theory is around the time of 12 and 18 years of age when the child asks the question "who am I" which forces the child to begin thinking who they should be as well as what they should think. My mother said she would always stay out later than what her curfew was which lead to her getting in trouble or hanging out with the wrong people.

Stage 6 of Erikson's theory is based on the ages of 19 to 40 years. During this stage, the child will begin to start to form lifelong committed relationships with someone else. The ability for the child to form a strong relationship will allow for the child to develop a strong self in their teen years whereas without a strong sense of self, the child is more likely to have less committed relationships and could possibly suffer from loneliness. My mother married her high school sweetheart but then later in life got a divorce. This example shows you that she has a strong sense of self and may experience little to no loneliness.

Stage 7 of Erikson's theory is based on the age group 40 to 65 years of age. It states that if adults succeed in building a productive as well as a good life they will most likely feel like they are contributing to the world whereas if they feel as if they failed to build a good and productive life they will most likely feel as if they are uninvolved in the world. My mother feels as if she has a productive and good life because she has a house and a stable good that helps children learn.

Stage 8 of Erikson's theory is based on the age group of 65 to death. Throughout this stage, the adult will look back on their life and develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments which allows them to feel accomplished whereas if they fail to develop this pride they are likely to feel as if their life has been wasted. My mother has not reached this stage yet but in my opinion, I feel like she will feel accomplished with her life.
