  2. What are the ‘typical’ problems in childhood? When do they become out of control? When should you do an intervention if a child is developing ‘differently’? • Have you interacted with people diagnosed with (or do you have) learning disabilities, or developmental disabilities, such as Autism? What kinds of challenges did they face?

  3. You are getting older by the minute • Looking at the clock right now, figure out your age to the minute. Start with the exact time you were born if you know it. • None of us will get these minutes back, have you invested them well?

  6. Erik Erikson • Born out of an affair, he was adopted by his step father at the age of 7 and wasn’t told who his real father was until he was an adult. He felt alienated by both his Norse and Jewish peers. He spent a lot of time studying “identity crisis”.

  7. Stage 1 Trust vs Mistrust • Trust is established when infants are given warmth, touching, love and physical care. • Mistrust is caused by inadequate or unpredictable care.

  8. Stage 2 Autonomy vs Doubt • Parents can foster a sense of autonomy by encouraging their kids to try something new • Parents who overprotect or ridicule their kids may cause them to doubt their abilities or feel shame about their actions

  9. Stage 3 Initiative vs Guilt • Initiative is reinforced by giving children freedom • Guilt develops by criticizing, preventing play or discouraging questions

  10. Stage 4 Industry vs Inferiority • Industry is when children are successful at producing activities (building, painting, reading, etc) • Inferiority is when they feel unsuccessful at these new activities

  11. Stage 5 Adolescence: Identity vs Role Confusion • Identity is formed by a consistent combination of values, skills, roles, culture • Role Confusion occurs when people can’t develop coherent fusion

  12. Stage 6 Intimacy vs Isolation • Intimacy is the ability to care about others, and share life with them • Isolation is when this hasn’t occurred

  13. Stage 7 Generativityvs Stagnation • Generativity is being interested in the next generation • Stagnation is only being interested in yourself

  14. Stage 8 Integrity vs Despair • Integrity is when someone has lived their life to the fullest • Despair is when someone is full of regrets about their life

  20. Marcia: Role Confusion • Defiant and destructive behavior • Disdain for traditionally valued roles, rebellion • May be easier to identify with what should not be done • Punishment by parents and society may confirm these roles • Cults or Gangs provide role for these people • Gangs require certain behaviors and attitudes that relieve the stress from the person
