It takes place from ages 1-2 years old. Babies, in these early months, develop a balance between trust and mistrust. Trust helps them form intimate relationships with others and mistrust allows them to protect themselves from harm. 

I established trust vs mistrust when I was learning how to walk. When I would stumble or lose my balance and fall, I would cry. My mother would comfort me and help me try again. Her doing this allowed me to trust her and to trust others. 

A quote to support this would be from the book "Child" by Gabriela Martorell, "If trust predominates, children develop home. If mistrust predominates, children will view the world as unfriendly."

During this stage we discover our body, and once we are able to discover ourselves we develop self-confidence. If we do not develop self-confidence we develop shame/self-doubt. Children in this stage exert their power to try and do things on their own and seek independence. Most of the time parents let them find out that something is dangerous by letting the child do something. 

I established autonomy vs shame and doubt when I would pick out my own clothes when going places. Being able to pick out my own clothes helped me have self-confidence because I liked what I was wearing. I resolved this with autonomy. 

A quote to support this would be from the book "Child" by Gabriela Martorell, "As children are better to make their wishes understood, they become more powerful and independent." ]]> 2022-12-07 06:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ssparks78/i96lrwxuk6gbg4c1/wish/2411752959 ssparks78 https://padlet.com/ssparks78/i96lrwxuk6gbg4c1/wish/2412295742 This is the third stage and is from ages 4-5. This is the stage where children balance the urge to pursue goals with reservations about doing so. It is the need to deal with conflicting emotions about their self. If they are encouraged to do things, they develop interests and pursue them. If they are held back, children can develop guilt.

I established initiative vs guilt when my mom and dad encouraged my interests. When I was younger, I was really interested in Dora the Explorer. My family would buy me things relating to this and would always encourage me to explore my surroundings. This led me to always being outside and led to my interest in doing outdoor activities as an adult. I resolved this issue with initiative. 

A quote to support this would be from the book "Child" by Gabriela Martorell, "Children who learn how to regulate these drives develop the virtue of purpose, the courage to envision and pursue goals without being unduly inhibited by guilt or fear of punishment." ]]> 2022-12-07 14:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ssparks78/i96lrwxuk6gbg4c1/wish/2412295742 ssparks78 https://padlet.com/ssparks78/i96lrwxuk6gbg4c1/wish/2412729058 This stage is from ages 5-12. Kids develop their own interests in this stage and realize they are different from others. Children must learn the productive skills their culture requires or else they will face feelings of inferiority. This stage is a major determination of a child's self-esteem. 

I established industry vs inferiority in school. I was always great at spelling and reading. My teacher would always compliment me on my spelling and reading skills. This helped me realize that I was smart, and it made me feel confident in myself letting me resolve this with industry. Social studies was not my strong suit so I needed to have extra help with this subject. I would not feel as confident in my work which then led to inferiority. This has led to me not wanting to study social studies which then led to me disliking and struggling with it as an adult. 

A quote to support this would be from the book "Child" by Gabriela Martorell, "If children are unable to obtain the praise of others or lack motivation and self-esteem, they may develop a feeling of low self-worth and thus develop a sense of inferiority."]]> 2022-12-07 16:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ssparks78/i96lrwxuk6gbg4c1/wish/2412729058 ssparks78 https://padlet.com/ssparks78/i96lrwxuk6gbg4c1/wish/2412738185 This stage takes place in ages 13-19 years old. In this stage we learn that we have different social roles, such as friends, citizens, students, and children. If our parents allow us to go out and explore, it allows us to find out our identity. If they make us conform to their views, we may struggle with role/identity confusion. 

I established identity vs role confusion when I was applying to colleges. Trying to pick a college was extremely difficult for me because I wanted to go somewhere not close to my home. I wanted to venture out of my hometown and discover who I was apart from my family. My family decided that it was better for me to go to college close to home so I could afford it. Them not letting me decide what I wanted to do didn't help in the discover of my identity. I resolved this issue with role confusion. 

A quote to support this would be from the book "Child" by Gabriela Martorell, "The effort to make sense of the self is part of a healthy process that builds on the achievements of earlier stages-on trust, autonomy, initiative, and industry-and lays the groundwork for coping with the challenges of adult life."]]> 2022-12-07 16:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ssparks78/i96lrwxuk6gbg4c1/wish/2412738185
