The book stated "But when the balance of care is sympathetic and loving, the psychological conflict of the first year—basic trust versus mistrust—is resolved on the posi-tive side."

This is the stage when events like toilet training take place. My boyfriend's parents said that during this stage my boyfriend had many issues with potty training. He also had challenges developing a way to talk well enough to ask his parents for help with daily challenges, such as finding food. The book stated "The conflict of autonomy versus shame and doubt is resolved favorably when parents provide young children with suit-able guidance and reasonable choices."

Children who are successful at this stage will typically feel a sense of leadership towards others and help lead. Others will feel a sense of quilt and shame. My boyfriend's parents told me that my boyfriend was a very good leader in pre school and was often times told he would make an amazing leader one day. He would tend to start games on the playground and help students who were left out. His sister however was very timid at this stage and would not like being bothered. The book stated that " initiative versus guilt. As the word initiative suggests, young children 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.

Students who are commended by parents and teachers feel a sense of success and entitlement. While students who do not receive praise tend to become more timid. My boyfriend's parents said my boyfriend was very awkward during this stage and would sometimes become overwhelmed by the level of work he needed to complete even though it was minimal. The change from easy home life to an industrial school setting was very challenging. The book stated " the psychological conflict of middle childhood, industry versus inferiority, which is resolved positively when experiences lead children to develop a sense of compe-tence at useful skills and tasks." My boyfriend solved this stage by completing conflicts with his own skills particularly school assignments. (Industry)]]> 2022-05-12 20:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ewright145/evwrighterikson/wish/2181869229 ewright145 https://padlet.com/ewright145/evwrighterikson/wish/2181876326 This stage takes place during the turbulent teenage years for many children and they begin to development a sense of self identity and are faced with more real world challenges. Those who are successful during this phase will come out with a good sense of self and will feel they have control. Often times those that are not as successful end up feeling guilt and shame. My boyfriend is currently in this stage and said that it is hard for him to develop a sense of self when he spends a large portion of his time in college and that he hopes he will succeed in this stage and be welcomed into the future with a good job and sense of self. The book stated that " 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." My boyfriend is able to be successful during this stage by mitigating conflicts and beginning to develop a sense of self and find his identity. ]]> 2022-05-12 20:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ewright145/evwrighterikson/wish/2181876326 ewright145 https://padlet.com/ewright145/evwrighterikson/wish/2181878948 This is the stage when adults need to build loving relationships with each other and learn how to bond and form life long marriages or intimate partnerships. Those who are successful at this step will form marriages and secure intimate relationships with partners. My boyfriend said he hopes to be married during this stage and form a tied bond with someone else who will make him secure and happy.  The book stated " Young adults establish intimate rela-tionships. Because of earlier disappointments, some individuals cannot form close bonds and remain isolated." During this stage my boyfriend hopes to succeed by getting in a secure marriage, and lead with intimacy. ]]> 2022-05-12 20:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ewright145/evwrighterikson/wish/2181878948 ewright145 https://padlet.com/ewright145/evwrighterikson/wish/2181881770 During this phase adults need to nurture and take care of things that will outlast them in many cases this is children and grand children. Those who have children will feel a need to take and nurture them by sometimes spoiling and spending more time with them. My boyfriend said his grandparents are the nicest people and love to give gifts and call him a lot sometimes to much. They feel a need to take care of him because he will probably outlive them as stated in this phase. The book stated that "Generativity means giving to the next generation through child rearing, caring for others, or produc-tive work. The person who fails in these ways feels an absence of meaningful accomplishment." My boyfriend is hoping to achieve this stage by having children and taking care of them. ]]> 2022-05-12 20:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ewright145/evwrighterikson/wish/2181881770 ewright145 https://padlet.com/ewright145/evwrighterikson/wish/2181884582 During this last psychological phase people begin to ponder on if they lived the life they wanted and if they believe they succeeded at it or not and how they could have done things differently. During this phase many individuals will develop a sense of either being proud of the way they lived their life or a sense of shame and despair about what they did during this stage. My boyfriend stated that he is the most scared of this stage as many people would be and that he hopes he can look back on his life and be proud of everything he accomplished on Earth. The book stated "Integrity results from feeling that life was worth living as it happened. Older people who are dissatisfied with their lives fear death." My boyfriend hopes to be successful and have ego integrity by completing life to the fullest and not fearing death.
