The child is somewhere in the age gap of 12-18 months old. They start to realize that you are their safe space and that you are someone that can be trusted. The baby is still dependent on you for everything which helps them to create that special bond between the two of you. 
An example from my own life is my nephew who I have been with since he was born. I spend a lot of time with him and always have since he was born and I have built this bond with him and can tell I am someone he is able to trust and go to. ]]> 2022-12-05 04:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2408598201 mclark367 https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2408603416 At this stage in a child's life they are in. the age gap of 18 months to 3 years old. This is when you may send your child to a preschool or some kind of daycare. In this stage they start to develop their independence and they want to choose things on their own such as the snack they eat or the shirt that they are going to wear that day. 
An example from my own life is that I am a preschool teacher to 3 year olds and I see them every day learn to be independent when working on something and figure out for themselves how to accomplish a task. ]]> 2022-12-05 04:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2408603416 mclark367 https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2408607769 In this stage the child is between 3 and 5 years of age. This is the stage where your child will start learning more independence in school and learn that they can control situations. Play in this stage is very important and can help your child a lot wether it be playing at school, playing with a parent or grandparent, or setting up a play date for your child. They also may start to ask questions during this stage because they start to become curious. 
An example from my life in this stage is while I teach 3 year olds I am an assistant in a 5 year old classroom and I see every day the different between y students and the older class when it comes to interacting with other students, knowing things academically, and the type of questions that they ask. ]]> 2022-12-05 04:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2408607769 mclark367 https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2409063282 In this stage of development your child is between the ages 5 and 12 years old. Your child is starting to learn what they are good at and what things interest them and that they enjoy doing. It could be a sport that they are good at or maybe they are in a school club that they enjoy doing. With this they start to compare themselves to others. They may think that they aren't very good at soccer but they like it and might be upset one of their friend's is good at it. 
An example from my life is when I was in 7th grade we were able to start playing volleyball and I wanted to play until I started practicing at home and didn't have much confidence and think I was good and so that year I didn't try out for volleyball and then wished I would have. ]]> 2022-12-05 12:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2409063282 mclark367 https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2409063858 This is the stage where the child is between the ages of 12 and 18 years old. This is an important stage of finding their identity and who they are. They start to wonder and reflect on what they are good at and they have to start looking on to the future and what they want to do. Changes also start to have physically. Children go through big changes in puberty and that can also be challenging to understand why it happens. 
An example from my life is when I was a junior and senior I was trying to figure out what I wanted my future career to be and I chose nursing. After I started in college I realized it wasn't the right fit for me and I switched a few times to find what I enjoyed doing which is teaching young kids. ]]> 2022-12-05 12:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2409063858 mclark367 https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2409064610 In this stage you are between the ages of 18 and 40 years old. This is the time when you start to commit to another person and start to really recognize yourself. The stage before this plays a big role in being able to commit. If you aren't able to find yourself and your true identity it may be hard to be in a committed loving relationship with another person. 
An example from my own life that relates to this stage is my parents. My parents met when they were both still in their stage 5 of development. They have been together since they were seniors in high school and they made it through college together as well because they were able to find themselves so they could commit to each other. ]]> 2022-12-05 12:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2409064610 mclark367 https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2409065617 In this stage you are between the ages of 40 and 65 years old. You are probably raising children or possibly have grandchildren depending your age. Towards the older end of this stage as well it is possible that you may be retiring soon and so because of this you have more time to give back to the world and you can donate to charities or volunteer places. 
An example from my life are my grandparents. They both retired around 65 but they both still do work for people. My Grandpa has always been very handy and he will still help people paint their houses and put in new tile and doesn't charge people anything. ]]> 2022-12-05 12:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2409065617 mclark367 https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2409065946 In this stage you are 65 years of age or older. You are in the stage of reflection on your life. The pace slows down and there is less and less for you to do. This can be a hard stage for some people if they didn't complete other stages in their life. They can have the feeling of being unsatisfied or depressed. 
An example from my life is my great grandparents who I am very fortunate to still have here with me today are still very active people and I think you are able to tell that they are happy with the things they did and accomplished in their lifetime. ]]> 2022-12-05 12:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark367/7dxz3gnniu4m8v2d/wish/2409065946
