OVERVIEW OF STAGE:

Babies are able to either trust and know that their basic needs are met or they mistrust because their basic needs are not met by their parents.

RESOLUTION:

During this stage of life I had to rely on my mom to provide for all of my needs. I trusted her to do this because she showed me affection, changed my diapers, fed me, and always had a good childhood. My mom always made sure that I had everything that I needed.

Stage 2 Autonomy VS. Shame/Doubt Age (1-3)

OVERVIEW OF STAGE:

In this stage of life adults are expected to contribute to society and they are expected to want to start a family.
