Erikson's Theory of Psychosocial Development and 8 stages
Stage 2 Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt-Ages 1 and 3 years
Children begin to assert their independence, by walking away from their mother, picking which toy to play with, and making choices about what they lime to wear, eat, etc.
Stage 4 Industry versus Inferiority - Age 6 to Puberty
Children begin to develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments. They initiative projects, see them through to completion, and feel good about what they have achieved. During this time TEACHERS play an increased role in the child's development.
Stage 1 Trust versus Mistrust - Birth to 1 year
Children begin to learn the ability to trust others based upon the consistency of their caregiver.
If a stage was not successfully completed would the individual be able to revisit at a later time to resolve the issue?
Erikson believed the stages could be resolved successfully at a later time.
Stage 7 Generativity versus Stagnation - Middle Adulthood
Establish careers, settle down within a relationship, begin our own families and develop a sense of being a part of the bigger picture. We give back to society by raising our children, being productive at work.
Erikson's 8 stages of Psychosocial development has two possible outcomes, what happens if a stage is not completed successfully?
Failure to complete a stage can result in a reduced ability to complete further stages and therefore a more unhealthy personality and sense of self.
Stage 6 Intimacy versus Isolation - Young Adult Hood
Begin to share ourselves more intimately with others. We explore relationships leading toward longer term commitments with someone other than a family member.

By failing to achieve these objectives, we become stagnant and feel unproductive.
Stage 3 Initiative versus Guilt - 3 years to age 6
Children assert themselves more frequently. They begin to plan activities, make up games, and initiate activities with others.
