Document Summary
Erik erikson stages in the development of a human being, containing 8 stages. Each stage is linked to the family intimately. The way we get through stages is strongly impacted by the family: infancy trust vs. mistrust; first year of life. Children are totally dependent on parenting figures for survival. They learn to trust by having their needs satisfied (hunger, thirst, loved, etc): toddler autonomy vs. shame and doubt. They need to develop independence and mastery of their environment and selves. Parents/older figures need to encourage it and make it positive experience. Memory starts here and goes on: early childhood initiative vs. guilt. Spatial perception: ability to visualize objects out of context. The toys they are given, socialization; encouraged to play outside. They are not overly protected compared to girls. Family must allow child to develop initiative, the family needs to direct energy. Child must not feel guilty to be adventurous: school age industry vs. inferiority.
