It is during this stage that a baby finds if they can trust the people around them to take care of them on a daily basis. A key factor for learning to trust is feeding. After speaking with my mom and dad, I learned that I was a very calm baby. I did not cry much unless I was hungry. I had wonderful caring parents according to my grandmother. I developed the sense of trust during this stage. ]]> 2023-05-01 01:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573263917 emoskos https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573266950 During stage two of Erikson's timeline from age 18 months through age three the child develops a balance of independence and self-sufficiency over shame and doubt. I feel during this stage a child decides if they are able to be themselves and act outrageous and funny or do they have to hide and hope no one pays attention to them. During this stage when I was younger my mother was very so so. Everything including my clothing and my hair had to be perfect. I could not have one speck of dirt on my face if we were in public. Unintentionally, my mother caused me to develop shame and doubt. I would hide and hope that no one paid attention to me or noticed me. ]]> 2023-05-01 01:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573266950 emoskos https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573269540 During stage three of Erikson's timeline from age three through five years old the child develops initiative when trying new activities and is not overwhelmed by guilt. I feel during this stage the child is able to come into their own. They know if they want to be the sassy girl in class or the class clown, and if they are allowed to become who they are meant to be they are able to thrive. During this stage my mother still felt things should be just so, but she started to relax a bit. A key contributor to her relaxing was getting a job outside of our home and she had less time for perfection when it came to me. I was able to breathe a bit and make friends. I was still a bit shy, but I was also one of the funny kids and I developed a bit of self-confidence. During this stage I was able to get out from under my mother's controlling wings and I developed initiative of my own. ]]> 2023-05-01 01:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573269540 emoskos https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573272192 During stage four of Erikson's timeline the child must learn skills of the culture or face feelings of incompetence. In this stage the child must learn how to do things on their own. They are at the age now that they have to learn to do their homework on their own and take part in the programs that they enjoy and hold important. It was during this stage of my life I was taking care of myself like an adult would. I managed to succeed at this stage beyond belief. My success was a compulsion though. I was dead set on being perfect, which I guess was something passed down from my mother. It was during this stage I learned to be industrious because I had to. There was no other choice for me. ]]> 2023-05-01 01:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573272192 emoskos https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573274187 During stage five of Erikson's timeline adolescents must determine sense of self ("Who am I?") or experience confusion about roles. I feel during this stage is when young adults start to think of the future. Who are they and what do they want to do with the rest of their lives. Adolescents at this stage learn more about themselves than any other stage in my opinion. It was during this stage that I was moved from my mother's house in complete control of every aspect of my life into my father's house where I had no control over anything. Due to this move I developed a severe sense of confusion. ]]> 2023-05-01 02:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573274187 emoskos https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573276850 During stage six of Erikson's timeline a person seeks to make commitments to others or may suffer from isolation and self-absorption. In this stage a person seeks out the person they want to spend forever with. People stop dating for fun and start dating for the future. People start to not only look for partners they are attracted to, but also a partner they can be themselves with and a person they feel safe with. I am currently living in this stage of my life. I have been fortunate to have met my husband fourteen years ago and married him twelve years ago. He accepts me for all of my difficulties and good attributes. I safely see myself being married to this man for the rest of my life due to developing intimacy with him. ]]> 2023-05-01 02:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573276850 emoskos https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573279286 During the seventh stage of Erikson's timeline a mature adult is concerned with establishing and guiding the next generation or else feels personal impoverishment. It is during this stage adults reflect on raising their children and help to guide their grandchildren. During this stage the person is concerned with the world they are leaving for their children and the next generations of their families. I have not made it to his stage of my life yet, but I feel if my life continues on the path I am currently going down I will develop generativity with ease. ]]> 2023-05-01 02:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573279286 emoskos https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573282132 During the eighth stage of Erikson's timeline an elderly person achieves acceptance of own life, allowing acceptance of death, or else despairs over inability to relive life. It is during this stage that people are either satisfied with the life they have lived, and they can die happy, or they regret much about their life, and they die in despair because there are no do overs. I am obviously not in this stage of my life yet, but if I am able to continue down my education path, remain in my marriage, and raise my four children to be happy and successful what more could I possibly want? I could very easily die a happy woman if I can achieve those three things.]]> 2023-05-01 02:10:37 UTC https://padlet.com/emoskos/ztkjadenx1f1xo1e/wish/2573282132
