Stage 1 of Erikson's timeline is when ages 0 - 1 year learn the basics of trust. As an infant you are dependent on others so you have to learn to trust those who are responsible for your life that they are going to take care of you properly.

Growing up I could trust my family and I knew that I was going to be taken care of. I know if I needed something I could trust that someone would be there for me.

Stage 2 of Erickson's timeline is for ages 1-3 years. In this phase of the timeline we learn ask ourselves, can I do this on my own or do I need to rely on someone else to do it for me?

If you are like me, I grew up in a home that I was able to make my own choices. If my clothes matched or didn't match I was still able to be myself and wear what I wanted.

This is the 3-6 year old phase on the timeline. During this time children start to question if they are good or not. When asking these questions it can either want children to learn and try new things or it can hinder them.

I was always encouraged to try new things growing up. If I wanted to learn something new they would let me try to figure it out and learn from my mistakes.

During this stage children are learning to develop emotional and social skills. This age range is 7-11 years old and it a prime time for children to learn about themselves and others.

This phase for me was hard. At this time was when I encountered being bullied for the first time in elementary school and because of that moment in time I took on the inferior side of this phase.

This stage is ages 12-18 during this time young adults are exploring their independence and they are developing a sense of who they are or who they are going to be in this life.

Growing up I knew one day I wanted to get married and have a family. Even though I went through being bullied and dealing with things like that I always knew that I would still be able to get married and have a life that I so deserved.

This phase is age 19-29, during this time adults will question will I be loved or will I spend my life alone. This is a time where we will test relationships, we will learn what makes a relationship grow and what doesn't help it to grow.

Growing up I know I was going to grow up and get married one day. I however didn't know what my journey would look like. After multiple ups and downs I ended up marrying my high school sweetheart and for that I am so thankful.

In this phase of life you have 2 choices, you can enjoy life and make the best of it or you can become depressed and think that life is just boring and nothing great will ever come about it. If you look at life as boring you will become stagnant and not try new things or even enjoy things that you once had a passion for in life.

During this time on Erikson's timeline this is when a person will reflect back on there life and think about all they have done. Are they proud of the accomplishments they have made in life, or do they regret choices that they have made along the years. Maybe there is something they wish they could change looking back on it now.
