When you show your child love and when you care for your child, this will give them a sense of trust, meaning your child will have a feeling that they are safe and in a good place.

My grandma Trudy was born and grew up in a loving home where she learned to trust people and the world.

"Basic trust versus mistrust: From warm, responsive care, infants gain a sense of trust, or confidence, that the world is good. Mistrust occurs if infants are neglected or handled harshly."

During this time allow your child to express their emotions without yelling at them or trying to force them into feeling a certain way. Also let your child move around and pick things up. This is your child's first experience with the world and everything in it. Allow your child to have these experiences without judgement or being too harsh.

My grandma was experiencing the world for the first time and getting to know what everything feels and looks like and how to move themselves and over things around.

"Autonomy versus shame and doubt: Using new mental and motor skills, children want to decide for themselves. Parents can foster autonomy by permitting reasonable free choice and not forcing or shaming the child."

If your child is not beginning to use imaginary play, this may be because the parent is trying too hard to control their child's way of thinking and how they go about their life. YES, there is such thing as TOO MUCH PARENTING.

My grandma participated in a lot of make-believe play when she was a child, this may be because her parents supported her and let her be who she is.

"Initiative versus guilt: Through make-believe play, children gain insight into the person they can become. Initiative—a sense of ambition and responsibility—develops when parents support their child’s sense of purpose. If parents demand too much self-control, children experience excessive guilt."

If a child is treated kindly at home, they will reflect the same behavior with their classmates and the same applies for if a child is mistreated, they may treat their classmates in a harmful way.

My grandma says she cooperated with others and played nicely and fairly with her classmates. This is because even though her father was not around, her mother still loved her and took care of her the best she could.

"Industry versus inferiority: At school, children learn to work and cooperate with others. Inferiority develops when negative experiences at home, at school, or with peers lead to feelings of incompetence."

At this age, people begin to realize what they want out of life and if they are not feeling this way, it may be because of traumatic events from their childhood.

My grandma dropped out of college once she met her soon to be husband and got pregnant with my mom. She never picked a major and was never sure which career path she wanted to take. This might be because she had to help raise her siblings and was never able to focus on herself and what she wanted for her future.

"Identity versus role confusion: By exploring values and vocational goals, young people form a personal identity. The negative outcome is confusion about future adult roles."

In early adulthood, many people are in committed relationships. Without good role models your child may have trouble forming relationships.

My grandma got married at a very young age to a man she had only been dating for a few months, she later got divorced. This may have been because of her father passing and not having a dad around while growing up.

"Intimacy versus isolation: Young adults establish intimate relationships. Because of earlier disappointments, some individuals cannot form close bonds and remain isolated."

This is the time in your life where you give back to younger generations by sharing your own knowledge on life that you've gained from years of experience.

Today my grandma shares her life experiences with me to help me with my own life. She gives wonderful advice. This may be because of everything she had to learn being the oldest growning up in a house full of 6 other kids.
"Generativity versus stagnation: Generativity means giving to the next generation through child rearing, caring for others, or productive work. The person who fails in these ways feels an absence of meaningful accomplishment."

If a person has just been alive rather than truly living, the end of this person's life might end with fear of death.

Although my grandma went through a crisis at a young age and got divorced, she is still very happy with her life and says she is where she is "meant to be." This is because even though bad things happened in her life, she still managed to focus on the positives in her life and make the best of it.

"Integrity versus despair: Integrity results from feeling that life was worth living as it happened. Older people who are dissatisfied with their lives fear death."
