The first 18 months of a child's life are by far the most important developmentally. With babies being completely dependent on their caretakers, they will eventually come out of this stage with a feeling of trust for others, or they will feel alone, like they cannot trust their peers. Kelli, my cousin, told me that her parents always gave her their all. They fed, Bathed and nurtured her as much as they possibly could. This guaranteed that she would grow into her toddler years with a feeling of trust towards her parents and others.]]> 2022-07-17 23:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244908116 909317001 https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244911433 The second stage is autonomy vs. shame and doubt. This stage occurs until age two to three. If the child comes out with autonomy, they feel confident in themselves. They are able to meet all their milestones, such as using the bathroom and feeding themselves. As a toddler, Kelli loved to dress herself and create new outfits. Her parents encouraged this as a fun part of her morning routine. This action largely impacted her self-esteem, allowing her to grow into her early childhood with a feeling of autonomy and minimal feelings of self-doubt or shame. ]]> 2022-07-17 23:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244911433 909317001 https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244913978 The third stage is initiative vs. Guilt. This stage occurs from age 3-5. Children are either able to put themselves out there and try new things easily, or they are reserved and afraid of messing up or failing. Kelli's parents put her in many sports and social activities with peers her age as early as they could. She developed a love for basketball, which she continued to play in high school. She believes her parents allowing access to new things at an early age, and then creating a nurturing environment when she failed, allowed her to come out of this stage with initiative over guilt.]]> 2022-07-18 00:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244913978 909317001 https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244982106 The fourth stage is industry vs. inferiority. This stage occurs between the ages of six and eleven. Children who come out with industry over inferiority excel in school and other similar challenges. Kelli struggled in elementary school and fell behind compared to her classmates. Because of this, she fell into the inferiority category instead of industry. She did not feel confident in herself because of her lack of school smarts, and noticed that others were much farther ahead.]]> 2022-07-18 01:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244982106 909317001 https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244985904 The fifth stage is identity vs. confusion. This stage happens between the ages of twelve and eighteen. Teen years come with a lot of rapid changes, both mentally and physically. Kids are trying to figure out who they are. They either go into their adulthood with an identity and know who they are, or they do not figure it out and are left in a state of confusion. Kelli tragically lost her father to suicide when she was a young teen. The grief and survivors guild left her alone and confused. Her pain took a very long time to settle and caused her to unfortunately fall into the catagory of confused over identity.]]> 2022-07-18 01:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244985904 909317001 https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244990132 The sixth stage is intimacy vs. isolation. This stage occurs in young adulthood, around the ages of nineteen to forty. These, once adolescence, are now fully developed adults hoping to form deep relationships and find a forever partner. Those who are able to form intimacy can find a partner and close friends and are able to keep them relatively easily. On the other hand, some struggle to socialize. They feel alone, or isolated. Kelli has a long term boyfriend and is in a serious relationship with him. She can keep friends and is on good terms with her family. This shows that she falls into the intimacy catagory over isolation.]]> 2022-07-18 01:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244990132 909317001 https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244994269 The seventh stage is generativity vs. stagnation. This stage is in mid-adulthood, between the ages of forty and sixty-five. Generativity is to feel like you have a purpose, or are "leaving your mark" in the word. Stagnation is simply the feeling of uselessness. Kelli is still in her twenties, so she has not reached this stage of life, but she has solid plans to assure she falls into the generativity catagory over stagnation. She plans to someday get married and have kids. She also has a good job that she plans to continue to work her way up in.]]> 2022-07-18 01:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2244994269 909317001 https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2245001064 The eighth and last stage are intercity vs. despair. This stage is in late adulthood, from ages sixty-five and up. Those who feel intercity over despair feel as though they had a fulfilling life. they do not look back with regret, but rather with fulfillment and peace. To insure Kelli meets this, She hopes to live in the moment and focus on the good, while leaving the bad behind her.]]> 2022-07-18 01:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/909317001/blsm2cl5f05bq4b9/wish/2245001064
