This stage occurs from birth to the age 1 1/2, and sets a firm foundation for the rest of the child's life. When children are born they are uncertain about life. These children look for stability, constant and visible love from their caregivers to help them have a sense of trust. If the child is not feeling protected and loved they will develop a sense of mistrust which will further lead to them not being able to make proper relationships in the future. My mom was a single mom for the first half of my life. It was always only me and my mom, she was the only person I trusted. My biological father would only see me once a week, when I had to leave my mom I would cry, but would eventually stop. "Some babies with secure attachment are comfortable being left with a stranger for a short period of time; however, they clearly indicate they prefer the caregiver to the stranger, often smiling at, greeting, or approaching the caregiver during the reunion episode.".  I resolved this with trust because after being able to see my father more, I trusted him. ]]> 2022-12-04 16:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408125026 bsummers40 https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408126640 Autonomy vs. Shame is the second stage of Erikson's Development. This stage is when children are 1 1/2 to age 3. During this stage children are becoming more independent and are navigating through their early childhood by playing by themselves, picking out their own outfits, and strengthening their motor skills. When I was three years old, I was going to a daycare that was in someone's home. After speaking with my mom, one day we were running late to daycare. That morning my mom picked out my outfit and I did not like it. While leaving to go to daycare I threw a huge fit. I solved this crisis by shame. My mom would have been late to work if she had turned around to let me change, so she said she explained to me that I wouldn't be at daycare for too long and wouldn't be in that outfit for too long. "Because unlimited freedom is neither safe nor healthy, said Erikson, shame and doubt also have a necessary place. Toddlers need adults to set appropriate limits, and shame and doubt help them recognize the needs for those limits.".]]> 2022-12-04 16:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408126640 bsummers40 https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408314766 Initiative vs. Guilt is the third stage of Erikson's Development. In this stage children are still navigating through the first initial stages of life. Children are still becoming more independent by social interactions in school, preschool, daycare, outside playdates, etc. When I was 5, me and my mom lived with my grandma. One specific scenario I can remember about me experiencing guilt was, I was home with my grandma, she was in the shower, and while she was in the shower, I took hand fulls of dog food out of the dog food bag and threw it all over the kitchen. Not only did I waste some of the food, but I made a mess! I knew I had done something bad, and when she got out of the shower, she was very upset and confused as to why I did what I did. This crisis was solved by me feeling a sense of guilt. "Guilt, shame, and pride are known as the social emotions because they help regulate social interactions and are involved with moral development. If you feel ashamed after getting caught doing something other's think is bad, that might keep you from doing it again.".]]> 2022-12-04 22:45:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408314766 bsummers40 https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408337167 Industry vs. Inferiority is the fourth stage in Erikson's Development. In this stage children are ages 5-12. During this stage children are learning to read and write, and are beginning to identify their strengths and weaknesses. Children are also establishing friendships that help boost their self esteem. In this stage of my life I was very shy and did not have many friends. I kept to myself and loved reading. In elementary school we had A.R. points, and when getting to a certain amount of points, you would be able to get recognized in all classrooms by going on the school's TV. In third grade I had over 100 A.R. points and was frequently praised by my teacher which boosted my self esteem a lot, since I didn't have many friends. My mom and my family were also very proud of me and that made me endure the virtue of Industry. I did have a healthy balance of inferiority because I was not the best at math, still to this day. "Children who believe that they can succeed if they try, who enjoy challenges, and who have faith their ability meet those challenges tend to have parents who praise their efforts, not their inherent abilities, and who focus on specific, focus feedback rather than generic praise.".]]> 2022-12-04 23:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408337167 bsummers40 https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408345744 Identity vs. Role Confusion is the fifth stage in Erikson's Development. This stage is from ages 12-18. During this stage teens are going through some of the most important stages in their lives. They're reaching a sense of adulthood and thinking about what they want to do for the rest of their life, experiencing intimate relationships, and figuring out who they want to be. All throughout the first two years of high school, I was dead set on being a nurse. I was very aware that I was a very caring and selfless person, who genuinely enjoyed helping people. When talking to my counselor about classes, I was being put in classes that would keep me on the right track for nursing. When I hit the end of my sophomore year, I sat down with my mom and explained my struggles to her because I was feeling so lost and confused. I was not succeeding in the classes I needed to pursue nursing, I was not good at math or science classes. I was feeling very defeated in the fact that I couldn't be who I thought I wanted to be. This crisis was resolved by role confusion. "If self-esteem is contingent on success, you may view failure or criticism as an indictment of their worth and may feel helpless to do better.".]]> 2022-12-04 23:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408345744 bsummers40 https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408352169 Intimacy vs. Isolation is the sixth stage in Erikson's Development. This stage occurs from ages 18-40. During this stage, adults are continuing to explore themselves and starting to explore others to form intimate relationships. At the end of my senior year of high school, I met my boyfriend. He has shown me what it's like to be treated correctly and loved the right way. He makes me feel safe and secure and very confident in myself. Before I met my boyfriend I didn't know the virtue of love. My previous relationship made me feel the opposite, I felt very insecure, unhappy, and unloveable. I am so happy I met my boyfriend now and can experience the virtue of love and intimacy. "Not until late adolescence or early adulthood do romantic relationships begin to serve the full gamut of emotional needs that such relationships can serve and then only in relatively long-term relationships.",]]> 2022-12-05 00:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408352169 bsummers40 https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408358511 Generativity vs. Stagnation is the seventh stage of Erikson's Development. This stage is from ages 40-65. During this stage, this is the time where you make your mark and have a chance to do something great and give back and make a difference. For my future career, I want to be an Early Childhood Educator. I am excited and eager to know that I will be able to change and effect the lives of young children being able to teach them the importance of kindness and love. My relationship is also making me feel confident in my future and the success of it. "People continue to shape their developments throughout their lifespans.".]]> 2022-12-05 00:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408358511 bsummers40 https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408362636 Ego Integrity vs. Despair is the eighth and final stage of Erikson's Development. This stage is from the age of 65 until death. This stage leads to the virtue of wisdom. This allows people to feel satisfied with their life and feel content with everything they have accomplished. Throughout life I know I will experience hardships, I am happy to have endured such hardships at such an early age to be able to appreciate the good things in life. I will make this a goal to experience the world and take my time navigating through life to make sure I feel the most content when my life does end. "We each continue to write and experience the story of human development for ourselves and our society for as long as we live.".]]> 2022-12-05 00:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bsummers40/4kr48re06381ug8x/wish/2408362636
