During this stage, the infant is uncertain about the world in which they live, and looks towards their primary caregiver for stability and consistency of care.
She was born into a large family, so she was always surrounded by care, whether from her parents, grandparents or other family members. They always responded to her basic needs such as food, bathing and providing comfort by holding her closely and safely and responding to her when she cried. 
Erikson believed that early patterns of trust help children build a strong base of trust that's crucial for their social and emotional development. If a child successfully develops trust, they will feel safe and secure in the world.  So Children who learn to trust caregivers in infancy will be more likely to form trusting relationships with others throughout the course of their lives. “A healthy outcome during infancy, Erikson believed, depends on the quality of caregiving: relieving discomfort promptly and sensitively, holding the infant gently, waiting patiently until the baby has had enough milk, and weaning when the infant shows less interest in breast or bottle.”(p.172)

According to Erikson, children at this stage are focused on developing a sense of personal control over physical skills and a sense of independence.
When she was three years old, her mother would let her choose her own clothes and choose the food she wanted to eat. Also, her parents were supportive of her during toilet training. 
Providing opportunities for children to do things independently, such as deciding what they will eat, each day, getting their own clothes, and choosing what they will wear. Although her outfits might not be appropriate for the situation, her input in such basic decisions has an effect on her sense of independence. If denied the opportunity to act on her environment, she may begin to doubt her abilities, which could lead to low self-esteem and feelings of shame. “basic trust and autonomy grow out of warm, sensitive parenting and reasonable expectations for impulse control starting in the second year. If children emerge from the first few years with-out sufficient trust in caregivers and without a healthy sense of individuality, the seeds are sown for adjustment problems.”(p. 173)

She said that when she was five years old she made a mud pie and gave it to her mother, but her mother was not happy because the mud covered her clothes completely and also the floor of the house, so she didn't make another one for her, and she felt guilty.
According to Erikson, the child at this stage will feel guilt when there is a negative reaction to the initiative taken. The hope, as the child approaches the end of this stage, is for feelings of guilt over a negative initiative to be transformed to feelings of remorse.  She  realizes that her action has caused her mom to spend almost an hour cleaning up the mud and she feels badly that the initiative caused others “pain”. “The negative outcome of early childhood is an overly strict superego, or conscience, that causes children to feel too much guilt because they have been threatened, criticized, and punished excessively by adults. When this happens, preschoolers’ exuberant play and bold efforts to master new tasks break down.” (P.246)

Children begin to compare themselves with their peers to see how they measure up. They either develop a sense of pride and accomplishment in their schoolwork, sports, social activities, and family life, or they feel inferior and inadequate because they feel that they don’t measure up.
When she was in the sixth grade, she was about 11 years old. She finds math lessons difficult, but her parents were willing to help her each night with her homework. She also asks the teacher for help and starts to receive encouragement and praise for her efforts. 
Because she received praise and encouragement from her parents and teacher she will likely develop a sense of industry and feeling of competence and belief in her skills. “Industry versus inferiority, which is resolved positively when experiences lead children to develop a sense of competence at useful skills and tasks.” (P.321)

During this stage, adolescents search for a sense of self and personal identity, through an intense exploration of personal values, beliefs, and goals.
When she was a teenager, her teacher asked her what profession she would like to pursue in the future, and she realized that it's a question she has not given much thought to, and one that doesn't really interest her. She decides not to commit herself to a particular career choice at the moment since she really doesn't know what she wants to be.
“ Constructing an identity involves defining who you are, what you value, and the directions you choose to pursue in life.”(p.398)

During this stage, the major conflict centers on forming intimate, loving relationships with other people.
She has two friends who were her best friends 10 years ago and are her best friends even now. She has known her two friends since they were in high school, she considers them as her sisters, although they are now living in different countries but their friendship still continues. They communicate on social media like FaceTime , she says that often, if one of us runs into conflict/frustration at work or in our personal life, we’ll hash it out as well as one can when you’re ranting via text, or try and call if we can, even if it’s just to scream into the void for 5 minutes.
Erikson believed it was vital that people develop close, committed relationships with other people. Those who are successful at this step will form relationships that are enduring and secure. While the word intimacy might evoke thoughts of a sexual relationship, that’s not how Erikson described it. According to him, intimacy is a loving relationship of any sort. It requires sharing yourself with others. It can help you develop deeply personal connections. It includes romantic partners, but it can also encompass close, enduring friendships with people outside of your family.

During this stage, middle-aged adults begin contributing to the next generation, often through childbirth and caring for others; they also engage in meaningful and productive work which contributes positively to society. Those who do not master this task may experience stagnation and feel as though they are not leaving a mark on the world in a meaningful way.
She has not yet reached this stage, as she is still 25 years old, but according to my knowledge of her, I think that she will be a productive person through education, guidance and motherhood. She wants to become a teacher and will marry soon, so I think she will be able  To develop successful family relationships and be a wonderful mother, so she will contribute to the care, direction and guidance of future generations by transferring her knowledge, skills, value and culture to others.]]> 2022-02-27 01:46:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dahmed11/ff1otilci86fg3sx/wish/2067847814 dahmed11 https://padlet.com/dahmed11/ff1otilci86fg3sx/wish/2067850147  This stage begins at approximately age 65 and older. It is during this time that we contemplate our accomplishments and can develop integrity if we see ourselves as leading a successful life. Individuals who reflect on their life and regret not achieving their goals will experience feelings of bitterness and despair.
If I speculate what her decision will be when she gets to this stage I think that on the one hand she will be proud of some aspects of her life. Maybe she raised her kids and worked a job too. That's something to be proud of! but at the same time she may not be sure about other parts of her life.  For example, one of her children may be misbehaving or smoking, so she may wonder if it is her fault. She also never got promoted to a management position at work, so maybe she wasn't so good after all.
The way she resolves that conflict of pride and disappointment will determine how she resolves the conflict of ego identity and despair. On one hand, if she is able to find satisfaction with her life and achievements, she is likely to find ego integrity, or a feeling of being whole and complete. On the other hand, if she's never satisfied with her life and feels like she's made many wrong decisions and doesn't have enough time left in life to correct her course, she will most likely end up in despair, seeped in regret and depression. Of course, it's not an all-or-nothing enterprise. She can feel proud of some parts of her life and not as proud of others; everyone has things they're proud of and things they'd rather erase from their past. But her overall feelings about her life are what dictate whether she ends up with ego integrity or in despair.
