During this, the baby develops a "sense of whether [the] world is a good and safe place." This can come from a number of factors, but mostly depends on the environment that the baby is growing up in. For this project, I questioned my boyfriend on each stage and asked how he would have dealt with each crisis. He believes that he chose trust because he grew up in a safe and small town and with a loving, married family. ]]> 2023-02-27 03:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495729179 knelson1581 https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495732545 This stage occurs from 12-18 months to 3 years. During this, a toddler "develops a balance of independence and self-sufficiency over shame and doubt." The child in this stage goes through the crisis of whether they are fearful of being alone or enjoy being independent when they need to be. My boyfriend believes he chose autonomy because of how much his parents encouraged independence.]]> 2023-02-27 03:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495732545 knelson1581 https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495736061 This stage occurs from 3 to 6 years. During this, a young child "develops initiative when trying new activities and is not overwhelmed by guilt." Taking initiative can be very tough for some children, but seeing those around them doing so, and still not wanting to themselves, can lead to guilt. My boyfriend thought that guilt was an odd word to use, but he still chose that because as a child, he was never really one to take the initiative when jumping into new activities.]]> 2023-02-27 03:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495736061 knelson1581 https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495741008 This stage occurs from 6 years old to puberty. During this stage, a school-age child must "learn skills of the culture or face feelings of incompetence." Being in school can be challenging solely for the fact that you're surrounded by peers. In this stage, children can begin to feel "less-than" if they aren't meeting the skills that those around them are. My boyfriend chose industry because he was actively learning new skills and enthused by them.]]> 2023-02-27 03:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495741008 knelson1581 https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495744951 This stage occurs from puberty to young adulthood. During this, adolescents/ teens must "determine [a] sense of self or experience confusion about roles." Being a teen is all about finding who you are and where you want to go in life. My boyfriend is currently in this stage of life (17 years old), and he chose identity. He knows where he wants to be and what he stands for, and doesn't see any of that changing.]]> 2023-02-27 03:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495744951 knelson1581 https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495748544 This stage occurs during young adulthood. During this, a person can either seek "to make commitments to others or may suffer from isolation and self-absorption." It is at this point where many young adults are getting serious in relationships and the thoughts of settling down are coming to the forefront of their brains. My boyfriend believes that he will choose isolation when he meets this crisis because he believes he’ll be wanting to focus on himself more than he would be on others and gaining relationships with them. ]]> 2023-02-27 03:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495748544 knelson1581 https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495752004 This stage occurs during middle adulthood. The adults in this stage are "concerned with establishing and guiding the next generation or else feels personal impoverishment." My boyfriend claims that he will choose stagnation in this stage because he doesn’t think he’s going to care much about guiding the next generation because he wants them to strive for their own independence and mark on life. ]]> 2023-02-27 03:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495752004 knelson1581 https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495757723 This stage occurs during late adulthood and is the final stage of life, according to Erikson. During this stage, an elderly person "achieves acceptance of [their] own life, allowing acceptance of death, or else despairs over [the] inability to relive life." Basically, they must choose whether to accept the life they lived, or mourn the life they could have lived. My boyfriend believes he will think back on life and appreciate the life he lived more than he’ll be focusing on not being able to start again. ]]> 2023-02-27 03:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/knelson1581/nspfeio1eghq56i9/wish/2495757723
