This stage of Erikson's Development talks about when babies (0-1 year) start to determine whether the environment around them is a good or bad place. Whether it can be trusted. My mom used to hold me whenever I would be fussy as well as feed me, shower me, and put me to sleep. Thus, I believe the resolution at this stage of development was 'trust' because growing up I always felt like my parents were there for me. In fact, the book says "if you feel that others have your back, you are likely to try new things and thus develop new skills" (13).

Stage 2: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1-3)

This part of Erikson's Development focuses on toddlerhood and talks about a child becoming more independent as well as confident in themselves and having less doubt. Since my parents were very busy by the time I was born and I had other siblings, I would often play by myself all day after I reached toddlerhood by staying in a playpen. Thus, I think the resolution in this case is "Autonomy" instead of shame and doubt. This is important because, like the book mentions "In toddlerhood, the critical theme is autonomy, or a sense of agency and independence" (13).

This is the stage in development where children start learning what can and can't be done. In other words, what is socially acceptable and what is not. For example, there are certain things children shouldn't say especially in public (eg. point to a pregnant women and say she's 'fat'). When I was younger, I struggled with speaking because I was afraid of saying the wrong things. My teachers would always encourage me in participate my ideas through groupwork. Thus, the resolution to my situation was "initiative." In the words of the book, a part of me "remains a child, full of exuberance and a desire to test new powers, and the part that is becoming an adult, constantly examining the propriety of motives and actions" (210).

Stage 4: Industry vs. Inferiority (7-11)

This stage in development helps a child know how to complete their work in a productive and organized manner such that they do not struggle with feeling inferior or behind. A scenario from my childhood which relates to this was when I first hit 2nd grade. I remember during spelling tests, the teacher used to reward us with homework passes to those who got 100. While my classmate and I never really used it but except collected them for the end of the year, it was a great form of encouragement and helped us to feel like our work was scene. This helped us to "Developing a sense of industry, by contrast, involves learning how to work hard to achieve goals" (275).

This part of life talks about a child's journey in discovering who they are, what they like, and what they hope to do in their future. Since I am currently in this stage of life, I identify with this. For example, sometimes I start to wonder what my purpose is in doing my homework and how all my assignments will even help me in my future jobs. I also wonder how I as a person am contributing to this world. For me, I do not think this has been resolved yet. Thus, I am still in the 'confusion' stage. However, I believe that working towards a specific goal and having people around me to encourage will help me to find my identity.

This stage talks about the importance of connecting and committing to others in our lives. While I believe this stage occurs much earlier than adulthood, I believe in adulthood is when people usually start thinking about larger commitments like family, spouses, and children. For me, this stage is relevant in my life through the close friendships which I have. Some of these friendships I have had for around 6-7 years and possibly many more. I believe this is important because "Those who are successful at this step will form relationships that are enduring and secure" **This quote is from "https://www.verywellmind.com/erik-eriksons-stages-of-psychosocial-development-2795740"

Stage 7: Generativity vs. Stagnation (30-64)

# data[].attributes.body
This stage talks about the importance of self-worth and how we perceive ourselves. At this age in life, adults must go through an important stage. Not going through this stage may lead to self-absorption and thus stagnation. In my future life, I hope to make an impact on others whether it be students, children, or other friends and family in my life. I would not want to stagnate and become self-absorbed. Becoming stagnate can also have a very bad influence on health. According to the National Institute of Health, it "can be key to motivating older adults to engage in contributive acts."

This point in a person's life talks about when a person reflects back on their life. Will they accept and look back in a positive way, or in a negative way? This stage is extremely important to a person's life because a person can look back on life and become depressed, unhappy, or regretful. However, on another perspective, they can look back and see all the good that they have done. A quote from a textbook says, "This stage includes finding meaning in one’s life and accepting one’s accomplishments, but also acknowledging what in life has not gone as hoped". When I grow up and reach this stage in life, I want to look back in a positive way and see that even amidst some of the bad times, there were good things which came out. I will have passed through and conquered each stage of life. Link: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-lifespandevelopment/chapter/erikson-integrity-vs-despair/
