Trust vs. mistrust
(Infancy 0 to 1.5)
Stage 1
I develop trust
with my parents,
Im learning to
trust the people
who are caring
for me. My parents feeding me
helped me develop trust with
them both. This is
a very important
step
in childhood. On
of the most important steps people can argue is the
trust vs. mistrust.
Early childhood 2-3 years
This is when children starts to or needs to develop
a sense of personal control over physical skills
and some independance. If you start to expierance some success it leads to having good feelings about yourself. This picture is one of me
that shows me being happy and it seems like I
have control and begin to develop physical skills
like picking things up and moving around.
Preschool 3-5 years This is when children begin
to develop a sense of control and power, and
begin to feel condifdent about their ability in
the enviroment around them. The picture of my
grandma holding me is when im just starting to
realize what is goign on around me and im
starting to become more curious.
School Age 6-11
This is the time when children need to begin to cope
with the new social and academic demands, Its where
you start to enter a new
phase in your life. You begin
to deal with new surrondings. My photo is me on my
first day of middle school. I
was entering a new phase of
my life. I was being introduced to new stresses and expectations in life. It was like opening another door in
life.
Adolescence age 12-19
This stage is when people begin
to develop a sense of self and
personal identity. Success leads
to being able to stay true to
who you are
But at the same time failure can
lead to loos-
ing
self confidence and confusion of who you are. In these
pictures.. one of me playing
baseball
and one with my sister it
shows me being around and
doing the things I love. Playing
sports and being around my
family. I have been successful up to this point
and I enjoy
being the person I am. It shows who I am. That
is why I picked these photos.
Young
Adulthood
19-40 Intimacy vs.
Isolation
This is the
stage where
people begin
to develop
rekationships with
other people. If you
are successful it leads
to a very
strong relationship. This is the
point in your life were you start to build a family of
your own. Its where you make a name for yourself. I
obvioulsy have not gotten to this stage yet but this
picture of my cousin getting married is what I hope
to achieve someday. It represents what I want to do
with my life.
Middle Adulthood
40-65 This is the stage
where you
create things that will
outlast you. Having
children or making
changes that has a positive affect on
people. This is where
you have a family of
your own
and you are wathing
your children grow up
and become a part of society. I chose this picture of
my family because its all of us at my brothers graduation and we are wathcing him enter a new phase in
his life and my its cool watching my parents and
knowing how proud they are of us. I hope to be in
their position someday when I can watch my kids
succeed in life.
Maturity. 65-Death This
stage is you relfection on
your life. This is where you
look back on life and feel a
sense of accomplishment.
You do not want to have
any regrets on life. This is
the final stage in life, and
you want to look back and
know that you lived life to
the fullest. I chose this picture of me with my
grandpa because he represents what I want to be in
life because he lived life to the fullest and loves his
family and was very successful in life and that is what
I want to be. He means the world to me and I look up
to him alot. There is never a day that goes by where
he does not think about how we are doing and is always wanting to help with anythign he can. I could
not ask for a better grandpa and can only hope to be
as great of a person as him.
