When the balance of care is sympathetic and loving, the psychological conflict of the first year basic trust versus mistrust is resolved on the positive side. Trusting baby expects the world to be good and gratifying and feels confident exploring it. Mistrustful baby cant count on the kindness and compassion of others so she protects herself by withdrawing from people. The conflict of toddlerhood, autonomy versus shame and doubt, is resolved favorably when parents provide young children with suitable guidance and reasonable choices. When parents are over or under controlling, the child feels forced and shamed and doubts their ability. Trust and autonomy grow out of warm sensitive parenting.
