The Trust vs. Mistrust stage of Erickson's stages of psychosocial development deals with the infancy stage from newborn (0 months) to 1 year. In the Trust vs. Mistrust stage, infants decide or learn whether or not they can trust the people and world around them. If parents give their infant the appropriate care and attention, then the chances of the infant to develop trust is higher, if they do not, then the infant will more often than not become mistrustful. In my crisis, I resolved with Mistrust since the situation involved my mom, my babysitter, an instance of neglect, and adults from school. "The motivation to help and share along with the ability to understand others' intentions together contribute to an important development between 9 and 12 months of age: collaboration with caregivers in joint activities" (Martorell, Gabriela. Child 3e.).

The Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt stage of psychosocial development deals with the early childhood stage from about 1-3 years of age. In this stage, toddlers begin to become (or want to) more independent and assert themselves as more in control of choices they are presented. In my experience, I resolved with shame and doubt more than I did with autonomy. As a very shy and quiet kid ever since I can remember, I had a lot of shame and doubt built up. I relied a lot on my older sister (who was just one year older than me) and on my mom and aunt. I did not believe in my own decisions and capabilities. I was still too fearful of the outer world and not confident enough to rely on personal autonomy. "Having come through infancy with a sense of basic trust in the world and an awakening self-awareness, toddlers begin to substitute their own judgment for their caregivers’" (Martorell, Gabriela. Child 3e.).

The Initiative vs. Guilt stage of Erickson's stages of psychosocial development deals with the preschool years, around ages 3-6. In this stage, children aged 3-6 learn about how to become more assertive over their own actions and how to take initiative. These children will also experience the feeling of guilt if they are punished or discouraged from doing something they really want to do or say. I believe the resolution from this stage was guilt. Since the CPS incident occurred during this stage of psychosocial development, I did feel a lot of guilt over the situation. Being a very quiet kid, I observed more than I spoke and I always noticed the pressures my mom had as a single mother of two. I could not help but to feel like a burden and guilty for not being able to help. From the text, "Before they can control their behavior, children may need to be able to regulate their attentional processes and to modulate negative emotions (Eisenberg, 2000). Attentional regulation enables children to develop willpower and cope with frustration (Sethi et al., 2000). For example, control of attentional processes might allow a child to distract herself enough that she manages not to steal the cookies temptingly cooling on the counter"(Martorell, Gabriela. Child 3e.).

The Industry vs. Inferiority stage of Erickson's stages of psychosocial development deals with the school age group, from about ages 6-12 years. In this stage, children begin to develop their their confidence through the skills, hobbies, or even schoolwork they learn. In this stage, it is important for children to have a good support system to encourage them along the way. In this stage, self-esteem comes into play. I believe the resolution from this stage was industry. Upon starting kindergarten, I did not know or understand English (at first), however, soon after, I listened and comprehended and became confident in my cognitive abilities. I also was proficient in writing, reading, and speaking Spanish, my first language and I felt smart and very capable! My family also saw my potential and always encouraged me to achieve greatness in my education. "is the evaluative part of the self-concept, the judgment children make about their overall self-worth. Self-esteem is based on children’s growing cognitive ability to describe and define themselves" (Martorell, Gabriela. Child 3e.).

The Identity vs. Role Confusion stage of Erickson's stages of psychosocial development deals with the adolescent years from 12 to 18 years of age. In this stage, teens/adolescents begin to explore their self-identity which consists of what their likes and dislikes are, what their values and goals are, and who they are as a person. In this stage, many adolescents become confused and overwhelmed, me included. I believe the resolution from this stage was Role confusion. I was a very troubled teenager. I dealt with clinical depression, attempted suicide a couple times and self-harmed a lot. I didn’t know my place on this earth and had gone through so much turmoil all my life that I could not understand the purpose of “all of this”. From the text, "The chief task of adolescence, said Erikson (1968), is to confront the crisis of identity versus identity confusion in order to become a unique adult with a coherent sense of self and a valued role in society. 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. The effort to make sense of the self is part of a healthy process that builds on the achievements of earlier stages—on trust, autonomy, initiative, and industry—and lays the groundwork for coping with the challenges of adult life" (Martorell, Gabriela. Child 3e.).

The Intimacy vs. Isolation stage of Erickson's stages of psychosocial development deals with the young adulthood stage from 18 to about 40 years of age. In this stage, young adults begin to search for companionship, they search for meaningful relationships with meaningful people to stay in their lives. if these young adults fail to trust or fail to establish strong connections, they may become isolated later in life. Humans require human connections with one another, making this psychosocial stage a crucial one in development. I believe the resolution from this stage began as intimacy and since I am 21, still experiencing this stage, right now I am a mix of both.

The Generativity vs. Stagnation stage of Erickson's stages of psychosocial development deals with the middle adulthood stage which is around 40 to 65 years of age. In this stage, adults struggle with an inner ethical dilemma. Middle aged adults think back on if they have been contributing members of society who are giving or if they have been ungiving individuals. If they realize that they have not been generous, then they may experience stagnation in their lives. I believe the resolution from this stage will be generativity. From how I am now, I can speculate that I want better for myself and for those around me and for there to be a difference in the world.

The Integrity vs. Despair stage of Erickson's stages of psychosocial development deals with the late adulthood stage that falls by around the age of 65 and older. In this stage, older senior citizen adults reflect on their life, their accomplishments, and what their overall purpose/meaning was in this world. In a positive outcome, these adults will be satisfied if they believe their life has been meaningful up until this point, however. in a negative outcome, these older adults will not be satisfied and will experience despair. I believe the resolution from this stage will be integrity. I hope to spend my future years living a fulfilling life, a positive life that I can build for myself despite the obstacles and crisis I’ve had to overcome.
