Trust - I developed trust in this stage because I had two loving and involved parents who cared for me. An infant relies entirely on its parent to provide this dependence, which creates trust in an infant. “The critical element in developing trust is sensitive, responsive, consistent caregiving (Martorell, G. (2022))”.

Self Reliance - I have many siblings and growing up I spent most of my time playing with them. Through our play and sibling rivalry I developed self reliance / autonomy. Through this stage of development toddlers developed a reliance on themselves. “Toddlers need adults to set appropriate limits, and shame and doubt help them recognize the need for those limits. (Martorell, G. (2022)).”

Initiative - Growing up, I always had trouble staying still and focused, which led to a lot of corrections from adults. I learned to reflect on my behavior. Through this stage of development, a child learns to make choices and following his conscious. They are learning that some of the things they want to do meet social approval, whereas others do not (Martorell, G. (2022)).”

Industry - In this stage, I played sports and did a lot of extracurricular activities. I enjoyed the friendly competition. I developed a competitive attitude and the ability to persevere in failure. Through this developmental stage, a person develops skills through the challenges they face. “Developing a sense of industry, by contrast, involves learning how to work hard to achieve goals (Martorell, G. (2022)).”

Identity- I am currently developing my identity and purpose. A significant contribution to my identity development is my relationship with God. My friendship with God is helping me understand my identity in Him. Through this stage, a person discovers their purpose and role in life and finds themselves through experiences in life.

“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.”

Intimacy- I believe that in this stage, I will likely get married and raise children. I am very hopeful that I will have a thriving, healthy marriage. I think I will raise many children and develop my identity more fully in motherhood. Through this stage, a person through intimate loving relations develops self. “According to Erikson, a man is not capable of real intimacy until after he has achieved a stable identity, whereas women define themselves through marriage and motherhood (Martorell, G. (2022)).”

Generatively - I hope at this stage of development, I will find purpose in serving my family and future generations. I will have been married for some time with many children at this point. I would want my children to be seeking their purpose, and I would be assisting their families. Through either raising children or participating in the lives of others, you find purpose in this stage of development.
