Document Summary

Baby depends on others to provide necessities. If needs are not met, the child may never develop essential trust in others. Young children must learn to be independent without feeling too ashamed or uncertain about his/her actions. Child acquires new physical and mental skills but must also learn to control impulses. Danger lies in developing too strong a sense of guilt over his/her wishes and fantasies. Study physiological and cognitive changes across the lifespan and how these are affected by a person"s genetic predisposition, culture, circumstances, and experiences. Erik erikson proposed a theory of 8 stages of development. Child learns to make things, use tools and acquire the skills for adult life. Children who fail lessons of mastery and competence may come out of this stage feeling inadequate and inferior. Teenagers must decide who they are, what they are going to do, and what they hope to make of their life.
