  6. S t a g e s S t a g e o n e Birth to 18 Months Trust vs. Mistrust Drive and Hope Erikson referred to infancy as the Oral Sensory Stage with the major emphasis is on the mother's positive and loving care for the child, on visual contact and touch. We learn to trust and have confidence. If we don’t experience trust, we’re frustrated because our needs as a child were not met. We may end up with a feeling of worthlessness and a mistrust of the world in general.

  7. S t a g e s S t a g e t w o 18 Months to 3 Years Autonomy vs. Shame Self-control, Courage, and Will In this stage we learn to master skills for ourselves. We learn to walk, talk, feed our self , and thankfully toilet training. Here we have the opportunity to build self-esteem and autonomy as we gain more control over our bodies and acquire new skills, learning right from wrong. And one of our skills during the "Terrible Two's" is our ability to use the powerful word NO! This may be pain for most parents, but it develops important skills of the will. We learn in this stage how to be very vulnerable. The most important relationship is with the parents.

  8. S t a g e s S t a g e t h r e e Play Age: 3 to 5 Years Initiative vs. Guilt Purpose Now, we begin to experience a desire to copy the adults around us and take initiative in creating play situations. We make up stories with Barbie's and Ken's, toy phones and miniature cars, playing out roles in a trial universe, experimenting with the blueprint for what we believe it means to be an adult. Here, we learn WHY? Erikson said that at this stage we usually become involved in the classic "Oedipal struggle" and resolve this struggle through "social role identification." If we're frustrated over natural desires and goals, we may easily experience guilt. The most significant relationship is with the basic family.

  9. S t a g e s S t a g e f o u r 6 to 12 Years Industry vs. Inferiority Method and Competence This stage is often called “the Latency”. Here, we are capable of learning, creating and accomplishing numerous new skills and knowledge, This is also a very social stage of development and if we experience unresolved feelings of inadequacy and inferiority among our peers. We can have serious problems in terms of competence and self-esteem. The most significant relationship is with the school and neighborhood. Parent are still important but not as important.

  10. S t a g e s S t a g e f i v e 12 to 18 Years Identity vs. Role Confusion Devotion and Fidelity From here on out, development depends primarily upon what we do rather then what is done to us. Right now, we are attempting to find our identity, we’re struggling with social interactions, and moral issues. If we are unsuccessful in navigating this stage, we will experience role confusion (Mass Confusion of who we are and where we belong). The problem is that we don't have much experience and find it easy to substitute ideals for experience. It is no surprise that our most significant relationships are with friends.

  11. S t a g e s S t a g e s i x 18 to 35 Intimacy and Solidarity vs. Isolation Affiliation and Love In this stage of being an adult we seek one or more partners and we seek love. As we try to find satisfying relationships (through marriage and friends) we generally also begin to start a family, If negotiating this stage is successful, we can experience intimacy on a deep level. If we're not successful, we may begin to feel isolation and distance from others. When we don't find it easy to create a satisfying relationships, our world can begin to shrink. Our significant relationships are with marital partners and friends.

  12. S t a g e s S t a g e s s e v e n 35 to 55 or 65 Generativity vs. Self absorption or Stagnation Production and Care Erikson observed that middle-age is when we tend to be occupied with creative and meaningful work and with issues surrounding our family. This is where we find the role we’ve always envied. The significant task is to transmit values of the culture through the family and working to establish a stable environment. Strength comes through care of others and contributing to the betterment of society, which Erikson calls generativity, so when we're in this stage we often fear inactivity and meaninglessness. If we don't get through this stage successfully, we can become self-absorbed and stagnate. Significant relationships are within the workplace, the community and the family.

  13. S t a g e s S t a g e e i g h t 55 or 65 to Death Integrity vs. Despair Wisdom The last stage is recovering from middle adulthood. As older adults, we can often look back on our lives with happiness and are content, feeling fulfilled with a deep sense that life has meaning and we've made a contribution to life, a feeling Erikson calls integrity. Our strength comes from a wisdom that the world is very large and we now have a detached concern for the whole of life, accepting death as the completion of life. On the other hand, some adults may reach this stage and despair at their experiences and perceived failures. We may fear death as we struggle to find a purpose to our lives, wondering "Was the trip worth it?"
