Erikson's first stage of psychosocial development is a very important stage. This is when a child learns to trust their parent/guardian. They learn to do this by the amount of physical affection they get and how nourished they are. For example, when I was a baby, my mom would trace my face and that showed me that I could trust her. She would do that to put me to sleep so I knew I was safe.

Erikson's second stage of development is where the child is learning to do things independently. Children are able to do tasks such as walking up and down stairs without assistance. For example, when I was around two or three, I was able to use a spoon or fork to feed myself.

The third stage is when children from ages 3-6 start taking initiative on some activities. They also begin to feel doubtful or ashamed if they do not succeed in their activity. For example, when I was six years old, my family and I were playing "Sorry" and when I didn't win, I remember feeling very disappointed.

This stage is when a child from 7-11 years old is gaining self-confidence. Not only this, they experience a secondary status. Their confidence lowers when they aren't successful. In my experience, when I was around 9-11, I did gymnastics. I seen all the older girls being able to do these flips and twists and my confidence diminished when I realized I couldn't do that task yet.

This stage lasts from age 12 to age 18. This is the stage where kids are entering adolescents. They begin to experiment with their identity and decide who they want to be. This could be anything from changing their hair to establishing their sexuality or gender to deciding which major they want to do in college. For example, when I graduated high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I started in nursing and decided that wasn't right for me, so I changed my major to education.

The sixth stage is when early adulthood occurs. This age frame is 19-29 years old. These adults are establishing intimate relationships with others. In my experience, I began dating my girlfriend when I was 17, but now that I'm 19, I feel like I have a better understanding of what a relationship means.

The seventh stage is ages 30-64 years. During this stage, people are able to experience family. They can contribute to the community or the society as a whole. An example in my life would be my parents. They are in their 40s and are able to spend time with their family.

The final development stage that Erikson established is where people 65 and above are able to get a sense of life and what contributions mean to them. They are able to reflect back on their life and determine if they are happy with the life they lived or if they have regrets for things they didn't do in their lifetime. An example in my life would be my grandparents. They are in their 70s and 80s and they all the time they're talking about things they've done in their life.
