They are developing a relationship with their parents and hopefully receiving a lot of affection.
My personal experience related to my event was not yet affected because it hadn't happened yet. There had been many good things in my life in this stage, my parents were together and very affectionate. I had an older brother that I liked to play with as well. I received affection and therefore gained trust. My needs weren't neglected so I didn't gain mistrust towards my parents or caregivers. It is important for the child and parent to bond and that happened for me.]]> 2023-10-02 03:03:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727910760 bbishop57 https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727913439 In this stage (1-3), children are learning that they have thoughts and feelings that can influence the actions they choose to preform. They are developing a sense of independence. If their independence is supported, shame will be less likely.
My personal experience is that I was allowed to make decisions and my parents provided opportunities for me to choose silly things like what fork I used for dinner. I feel like that made me feel in control of myself.]]> 2023-10-02 03:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727913439 bbishop57 https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727916014 During this stage (3-6) the child is learning to take initiative to start activities and they begin to do things without their parents direct permission. The guilt may come from things like breaking boundaries they haven't gotten to before.
My personal experience is that I gained confidence through initiating things myself and beginning to play on my own. I did have an older sibling so most of the time it wasn't my idea, but I definitely gained self-confidence. According to the text, kids in this stage can do and want to do more. Which I felt applied to me.]]> 2023-10-02 03:11:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727916014 bbishop57 https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727920202 This stage (7-11) involves more focus on the outside world and activities. They gain confidence when they receive good feedback and possibly feel inferior when they are gaining negative feedback. 
My personal experience is that, this is when my event hit. My event of a sexual assault at a young age sounded my confidence and focus on everything else going on. I didn't care much about my grades because I was more concerned about other things. I had been so protected my entire life that I didn't exactly know what to think. This caused inferior thinking.]]> 2023-10-02 03:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727920202 bbishop57 https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727925673 This stage (12-18) is when kids are developing who they are and how they think. It is a constantly changing time of life where many decisions are made and they are making their path in the world.
My personal experience is that this is the phase of my life where I decided to learn from what had happened to me and help others. I decided I wasn't going to let other people's decisions affect my positivity and influence on the world. According to the text, there are three main issues to resolve, occupation, adoption of values, and a satisfying sexual identity. I feel like all of these were resolved by me other than an occupation which I found in the next stage. ]]> 2023-10-02 03:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727925673 bbishop57 https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727928232 In this next stage (19-29), relationships are being established with others through college, work, or general growth in other relationships. This is where people form those bonds or they don't and they are isolated from their social life.
I am personally in this stage right now and I am developing relationships with others and strengthening old ones. From high school to college I realized who my valued friends were and realized less is more. I like the phrase quantity over quality.]]> 2023-10-02 03:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727928232 bbishop57 https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727931247 In this stage (30-64), people are developing their family and routine within it. They have a career to contribute to society, or they don't and they experience stagnation. In this stage it is basically falling into a routine of how your life is going to be and what you are going to do with it.
I don't exactly have personal experience with this stage, but I see myself with a husband and kids. I see myself with a career as a high school math teacher as well as a foster parent. I have seen examples with generatively vs stagnation with each of my parents being an example. Seeing that made me strive to get into the generatively category. ]]> 2023-10-02 03:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727931247 bbishop57 https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727933621 In this phase (65+), people are assessing their choices in life and what they have done. It is also possible they are still participating, but this is when the assessment is made of if they are happy with what they have done in their life or not.
I am really hoping I am happy with my decisions and gain wisdom during this stage. I think it is important to feel happy with the life you make for yourself and I'm hoping to have a close family and hopefully grandchildren!]]> 2023-10-02 03:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bbishop57/abf4y2j8d8zlul3e/wish/2727933621
