This stage also goes along with the attachment theory. If the parent is consistent, responds in a timely manner, and sensitive it should help the child develop into trust. According to the textbook, in the early months, children have to develop a balance between trust which help them in future intimate relationships (Martorell, 2023).
Conner (myself) was a premature baby. This stage lasts from infancy until 18 months. During these times my mother had to wake me up to feed me at the beginning and was extremely consistent in my life. This meant that I resolved through Trust during this stage of development. ]]> 2022-10-02 20:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322885144 ccox266 https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322886030 This stage is when a child will develop a balance between independence over shame and doubt within themselves. According to the textbook, "toddlers need adults to set appropriate limits, and shame and doubt help them recognize the need for those limits" (Martorell, 2023).

Conner (myself) went through this stage and developed autonomy. We know this because she demonstrated negativism as a child. ]]> 2022-10-02 20:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322886030 ccox266 https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322886479 This is an important stage in a child's development. This typically happens during the preschool aged years and is when a child will deal with conflicting feelings about the self (Martorell, 2023). At this age children want to do more and more and more, they want to be independent. During this stage they want to do more, but also want to meet the social approvals.

Conner (myself) came out of this crisis with Guilt. As a child I remember not being able to pick her own clothes out, get herself dressed, etc. Because I was not allowed to show independence and when I did, I got told I was doing it wrong or too slow which made my crisis turn into Guilt. ]]> 2022-10-02 20:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322886479 ccox266 https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322886640 This stage happens when children must learn the productive skills their culture will require. The alternative of this is that the child will have feelings of inferiority or not enough. According to the textbook, "if children are unable to obtain the praise of others,  lack motivation, or lack self-esteem they will most likely have a low feeling of self-worth" (Martorell, 2023).

I went through this crisis and made it out with industry. I know this because my family was extremely supportive of me and during this period of development I had accomplished many goals for my childhood. ]]> 2022-10-02 20:34:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322886640 ccox266 https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322886816 Confronting the crisis of identity versus role confusion can be difficult. According to the textbook, confronting this will help you become a unique adult with a coherent sense of self and valued in society (Martorell, 2023). The identity will form when adolescents resolve three major issues. The first issue is the choice of a career. The second, is the adoption of values. The third stage is development of a sexual identity.

During this time period, I had found out about my biological father which created a lot of identity issues for me. I ended this crisis with role confusion. When I moved unto my next step, I was scared and no longer knew what I wanted to do with my life. ]]> 2022-10-02 20:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322886816 ccox266 https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322892054 According to the textbook, this stage is categorized when a person seeks to make commitments to others or suffer from isolation (Martorell, 2023). During this time individuals should try to seek relationships with others usually through marriage or friends. 

I am currently planning a wedding right now and dedicate most of my time to work, family, and my fiancé. If I am not successful in this crisis, I will experience Isolation. ]]> 2022-10-02 20:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322892054 ccox266 https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322898278 This is whenever the mature adult will decide if they are going to help the next generation or they will feel stagnation. The textbook says that stagnation will feel like personal impoverishment (Martorell, 2023). 

I have not yet reached this stage of development. When I do reach this next stage will determine if I am working and being productive to society. If I am on my way to generativity, I should be worried about being inactive or meaningless.  ]]> 2022-10-02 20:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322898278 ccox266 https://padlet.com/ccox266/ji4f32qdnpk7oczw/wish/2322898355 I always say this is the stage of self-fulfillment or regret. During this stage, the elderly will either accept their own life or death. If they do not accept this then they will have despairs of their inability to relive life ((Martorell, 2023). 

I have also not yet reached this crisis in life, but I will demonstrate what that should look like for me. During this period, I will go through a crisis of am I happy with what my life was, did I do everything I wanted to do and do I wish I could relive again. The best case scenario for this crisis would be for me to come out with Integrity.
