This stage of Erikson's development is very important in beginning relationships that babies develop. They can't take care of themselves, so they trust that their caregivers give them what they need.
As for myself,  have no negative memories from this stage of my life. I never remember having to go hungry or need anything. I trusted those around me and was not mistrustful of anyone.
"when the balance of care is sympathetic and loving, the psychological conflict of the first year—basic trust versus mistrust—is resolved on the positive side."(BERK, 2018)

18 months- 3 Years
This stage of Erikson's development is the stage of children wanting to do things by themselves. They are realizing that they can do more and are getting older. This means that children are trying to experiment with doing tasks alone. Some examples include toilet training, eating, and cleaning up.
Thinking of myself in this stage all I can personally remember is the error of toilet training. I remember being ashamed of having accidents, but I was also afraid of the toilet. Over time my parents used positive reinforcement to make training easier. 
"The conflict of autonomy versus shame and doubt is resolved favorably when parents provide young children with suit-able guidance and reasonable choices."(BERK, 2018)]]> 2022-05-03 18:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mjett61/ef3t306gkh1ismlp/wish/2168805416 mjett61 https://padlet.com/mjett61/ef3t306gkh1ismlp/wish/2168834002 Initiative vs. Guilt : 3-6 Years Old
This stage of Erikson's development handles children wanting to help their peers with tasks. Children become more aware of their social placement and want to play occupations in references around them.
During this stage of my life, I remember always wanting to help my mother do laundry. I had seen her do it every day, and at this stage, I was ready to interact. My mother would let me help with folding the laundry so that I felt helpful. 
"the word initiative suggests, that young child have a new sense of purposefulness. They are eager to tackle new tasks, join in activities with peers, and discover what they can do with the help of adults. They also make strides in conscience development."(BERK, 2018)

6-12 Years Old
This stage of Erikson's development is when children begin their school journey. This is where most of their social skills come in. Children also learn to deal with failure and take commands. This is the first taste of true labor. 
At this age, I remember my first day of school. I remember how scary it was, because of how different it was from my house. After interacting with the kids my age it became fun. I enjoyed learning in a classroom environment and socializing with the other kids. 
"the psychological conflict of middle childhood, industry versus inferiority, which is resolved positively when experiences lead children to develop a sense of competence at useful skills and tasks."

12-18 years old
This stage focuses on who a person is. During this age, everyone is on a journey to discover what kind of person they want to be. This is when social groups have a large impact on self-esteem and behavior. This is also when peer pressure becomes a problem.
Middle school and High School had their ups and downs. Had a good group of friends throughout the school year. This is also around the age when I got bullied. I tried to discover what I wanted my future to look like, and what I wanted to be. I believe that my experience during this stage made me realize that the real world can be harsh, but if you are yourself then that's all that really matters.
"Erikson called the psychological conflict of adolescence identity versus role confusion. If
young people’s earlier conflicts were resolved negatively or if society limits their choices to ones that do not match their abilities and desires, they may appear shallow, directionless, and unprepared for the challenges of adulthood."

19-40 Years Old
This stage is when you begin to find a long-term loving relationship. Without close relationships in this stage, one can become very isolated and depressed. You will still be trying to be at one with yourself and who you are becoming. 
I am in this stage currently. I have very close relationships with a good amount of people. This helps me further my social status and skills. This helps me further myself individually. I am currently trying to develop myself in my career.]]> 2022-05-03 20:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mjett61/ef3t306gkh1ismlp/wish/2168924824 mjett61 https://padlet.com/mjett61/ef3t306gkh1ismlp/wish/2168938804 Generativity vs. Stagnation 
40-65 Years Old
This stage is considered middle adulthood. This stage focuses on contributing to the next generation. This can involve parenting or even career development. Adults who struggle with this concept can feel stagnant or like they haven't had an impact on anyone. 
I am not in this stage yet. Looking into the future I hope I have developed well in my career teaching. I hope to develop other young people for their futures. ]]> 2022-05-03 20:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mjett61/ef3t306gkh1ismlp/wish/2168938804 mjett61 https://padlet.com/mjett61/ef3t306gkh1ismlp/wish/2168949876 Integrity vs. Despair
65 years old -Death
This stage is considered late adulthood. This is when adults reflect on the life they have experienced and hopefully have a sense of fulfillment. Adults who feel like they could have done more with their life could feel a sense of disappointment moving toward death. 
I have not hit this stage of life yet. Hopefully, with my career and relationships with people, I don't feel like I could have done more. I want to end my life feeling like I accomplished what I have dreamed to accomplish. ]]> 2022-05-03 20:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mjett61/ef3t306gkh1ismlp/wish/2168949876
