Babies learn to trust their caregivers when their needs are met. Babies can not fees themselves so they need to trust that their caregivers will do that for them. They also learn how to mistrust certain things to keep themselves out of danger. If the caregiver fails to meet the babies need it can also form mistrust between them and the baby. "People need to trust the world and the people in it, but they also need to learn some mistrust to protect themselves from danger" (Martorell, 2023, p.14). When I was an infant, it was my grandma who I had trust in because she would feed me when I wanted to be feed while my parents were at work.   ]]> 2023-07-18 20:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647380948 carlygerardot14 https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385316 Erikson's second stage is autonomy vs shame and doubt. This stage the child learns to be more independent, and they can start making decisions for themselves. This stage starts at the age of 18 months to 3 years. Unlike the first stage where the child is totally dependent on the caregiver, in this stage the child is becoming more independent which creates a sense of self control, and basic confidence. "After all, if you feel that others have your back, you are likely to try new things and thus develop new skills" (Martorell, 2023, p.14). Before school, my mom let me be independent and choose what clothes I would want to wear that day. this gave me a sense of independence which also came with confidence. ]]> 2023-07-18 21:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385316 carlygerardot14 https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385452 Erikson's third stage is Initiative vs. guilt. This stage occurs in the years of three to five. This is the stage where the children rapid develop. With initiative, kids will try new things without the fear of failure. Trying new things on their own they develop a sense of ambition. With guilt, kids will be afraid of trying new things because they fear of failure. You will be able to tell if a kid has more initiative, then guilt if they do not want to try new things because their fear of failure. "Preschool children can do- and want to do- more and more. At the same time, they are learning that some things they want to do meet social approval, whereas others do not" ( Martorell, 2023, p.210). When I was a child, I did not have high initiative. I was scared of getting embarrassed if I would fail at something because I had three older brothers who picked on me. ]]> 2023-07-18 21:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385452 carlygerardot14 https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385611 Erikson's fourth stage is industry vs inferiority. In this stage the child are of the age of six to eleven years old. Industry is how an individual functions. In this stage you can see how hard working the kid is. In this stage, they face new challenges, and they try to navigate them by themselves so the caregivers should be supportive as they are going this new stage. Inferiority can be shown when you give up on a skill or when the child lets other people talk bad about them. "As with all of Erikson's stages, there is an opportunity for growth represented by a sense of industry and a complementary risk represented by inferiority" (Martorell, 2023, p.276). In this stage when i was a child I was and still am very industrious. I would also call myself a workaholic. I will always work for something. To this day, I will never let someone give me something for free I will always work for what I want. ]]> 2023-07-18 21:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385611 carlygerardot14 https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385687 Erikson's fifth stage is identity vs. identity confusion. This stage occurs during the ages of twelve to eighteen. In this stage, teenagers often become confused about themselves and their identity. They often worry if they fit into their society. teenagers who are not allowed to explore their identity are often confused. "The chief task of adolescence, said Erikson, is to confront the crisis of identity versus identity confusion in order to become a unique adult with a coherent sense of self and valued role in society" (Martorell, 2023, p. 337). As I am in this stage, I would say that my identity status is identity achievement. I personally have not had a big problem with my identity. My parents let me choose my own decision and I believe that helped me find my true identity. ]]> 2023-07-18 21:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385687 carlygerardot14 https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385754 Erikson's sixth stage is intimacy vs. isolation. This stage usually occurs are the ages of nineteen to forty. in this stage, you can either form intimate relationships with other people or you struggle at relationships which then lead to loneliness and isolation. Intimacy does not have to be all relationship it can also be friendships. Friendships are just as important as relationships. to be able to form intimate relationships and friendships, you have to be willing to share part of yourself while the other person does the same. Having a fear of commitment and an inability to open up can make you feel lonely and isolated. "Person seeks to make commitments to others or may suffer from isolation and self-absorption" (Martorell, 2023, p. 13). When I get to this stage of life, I can use what I learned here to help me be intimate. I need to be willing to open up to other people and not to be afraid of commitment. ]]> 2023-07-18 21:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385754 carlygerardot14 https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385824 Erikson's seventh stage is generativity vs. stagnation. This stage occurs between the ages forty to sixty-five. In this stage, the adults want to nurture things that will outlast them, like their children and grandchildren. Generativity is when you want to leave your mark before you leave. stagnation is the failure to contribute back to your society. "Mature adult is concerned with establishing and guiding the nest generation or else feels personal impoverishment" (Martorell, 2023, p.14). When I get to this stage in life, I definitely want to have generativity. I want to leave my mark so others can remember me when I am gone. ]]> 2023-07-18 21:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385824 carlygerardot14 https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385906 Erikson's last stage is about integrity vs despair. This stage is in your old days till death. During this stage elderly will look back on past events and determine if they were happy with what they did or did not do. "Elderly person achieves acceptance of own life, allowing acceptance of death, or else despairs over inability to relive life" (Martorell, 2023, p.12). When I get to this final stage in life, I want to be proud of the life that I had and not to dwell too much on the past. ]]> 2023-07-18 21:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647385906 carlygerardot14 https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647426919 2023-07-18 23:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/carlygerardot14/puijkbmyvzz9q7lt/wish/2647426919
