Charlie decided she no longer wanted to have her own private practice around 55. She decided that she wanted to begin teaching psychology so she became a professor at a small community college in her area. Now at 68, she's been teaching for 13 years. She's well established at the college and her students admire her and love taking her classes. She has encouraged many students to do what they want to do and has also formed many close relationships with her students. Charlie alternates between teaching different psychology classes.

The stage in Erickson's psychosocial theory that comprises the early childhood stage is initiative versus guilt. Charlie is entering preschool at this time and with this, her social world is widening significantly. In preschool she is expected to show responsible and purposeful behavior. When she doesn't carry this behavior, feelings of guilt may begin to arise and she may feel anxious. For example, if she were to have a temper tantrum in class and all the other children are just looking at her watching her behave badly.

At 21, Charlie has very high self-esteem. She has the "I'm hot and popular" mindset, an attitude that is perpetuated by her being well liked by almost everyone she meets. Her social life is very active. She has a wide variety of friends from school, work, and parties. In early adolescence, Charlie has become very interested in more feminine associated things such as doing her make-up, dressing more to her feminine figure, and heavily dieting all in attempt to be more appealing to guys and get approval from other girls. As Charlie gets further in adolescence, she becomes more comfortable with her image and starts wearing lighter make-up, more comfortable casual wear, and going for jogs instead of over dieting to keep her preferred figure more so for herself then others. This progression according to Oswalt is due to the further development of her gender identity (Oswalt, 2010)

Since meeting Bree in high school, Charlie has made a habit of making questionable decisions. She picked up smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and experimenting with drugs. Though her social life is ever expanding, from going to parties constantly and many casual romances, Charlie begins to feel a sense of loneliness among the crowd.
Charlie is almost never home and rarely spends time with her parents. She tends to act out hoping to get their attention and cause them to show more concern, but this is usually not the case. Although she rebels, it is not to intentionally disappoint her parents. She just wants them to prove to her that they actually care about her. She has made a habit of using alcohol, sex, and drugs to cope with the feelings of inadequacy caused by her parents.

Charlie was born in Augusta, GA to her parents on August 8. She graduated high school and went to Sanford to get a master’s degree in Psychology. Charlie had her own private practice in adolescent counseling/therapy.  Charlie loved her job as a therapist, and loved her career change to a teacher later in life.

It was an unfortunate tragedy that she was killed in a house fire started by her former patient John Jenkins. He was obsessed with Charlie as she was once his therapist. When she retired from being a therapist to start teaching, Mr. Jenkins went on a rampage and started stalking her. He found out where she lived and her routine in life. He wanted her to be his own. Jenkins thought September 25 was the best day to talk to Charlie. Charlie was confronted and was very distraught by the fact that he had been following her. She called the police and had a restraining order filed against John. John thought that if he went to see Charlie one more time, she may change her mind and he could have her all to himself. Charlie opened the door to let John in and explained to him that he was no longer allowed to see her. He got upset and left, but soon returned with a gas tank and matches. John Jenkins set the Smith home on fire. Charlie, Tristan and Ezra were all killed by smoke inhalation from the fire and died on the scene. John was found charged as guilty, but mentally ill and is now facing life in prison for his actions.

At eleven years old, Charlie would describe herself as smart and nice. She has many friends from school and her soccer team and is considered to be popular by her peers. She enjoys school and always tries her best to make good grades to impress her teacher, nanny, and parents.
Although she sometimes over analyzes her appearance in comparison to her friends, Charlie has pretty high self esteem and doesn't let those negative thoughts get to her.

Growth: Charlie has been through puberty and has grown into a beautiful woman. She has developed breasts and widened hips and has experienced her first period. She has experienced many behaviors and moods since her hormone increase. Charlie has a complex perception of her body image. She goes between loving her appearance to hating the way she looks. Research says that the physical changes from puberty is essentially the trigger in the further development of her gender identity which will also affect her socially, and cognitively (Oswalt, 2010) .

# data[].attributes.body
Charlie’s self-regulation and reasoning skills have greatly improved since the onset of puberty. In her brain, the corpus callosum, limbic system, and prefrontal cortex have matured greatly, which has a huge impact on her reasoning and self-regulation skills (Santrock, 2015). According to Piaget, Charlie is in the formal operational stage of her development (Santrock, 2015). She thinks more abstractly and idealistically. Though she has an increased capacity for higher mental functioning she does not use these new skills in every situation in her life as an adolescent, she places too much importance on being viewed as cool and hot by those around her, but she does not obsess over it as much as she did during her early adolescence. This change from being very focused on her outward appearance to being more content is supported by research following gender identity. At the beginning of adolescence there is more of a focus on body image and others perception of oneself then gradually evens out into confidence and contentment in their own gender in later adolescence (Oswalt, 2010). Charlie has also picked up some new vocabulary, well, slang terms the kids use these days. Her favorite word is fire. Everything is fire!!!

Morals: Charlie knows the difference between right and wrong, but she is still judging based on the consequences and can't yet take the intentions into consideration.
Peers & Peer status: Charlie's peers are very important at this point in her life. They serve as a source of information and socialize her further than that of her family and nanny. She has began to distinguish between those who are friends and who are not.

# data[].attributes.body
At the age of eleven our child is in the formal operational stage. She is an active listener in both formal and informal settings. She is using constructive ways to show her needs, wants, and emotions. We have noticed that she is beginning to approach problems in a more systematic way, and her critical thinking skills are improving greatly. She is able to have more meaningful and insightful conversations with those around her.

Her influences in school are her friends and her favorite teachers. Her favorite teacher is her science teacher, causing her to become very interested in how things work. She has a strong need to develop independence and due to her adolescent egocentrism, she  sometimes obsesses over her appearance and the way others view her.

Charlie is approaching the age in which the decision-making skills taught to her in her early childhood are becoming important. As she finds her independence and moves away from thinking her parents are the best, she relies on her morals and outside influences to guide her in decision making.
