Stage 1: Trust vs. Mistrust
During my infancy my mother was not loving or caring and was always distant or unreliable. This caused me to fail this stage of development and, later become fearful, anxious, and mistrustful of the people around me. -
Period: to
Stage 3: Initiative vs. Guilt
My mother never had interest in having kids so, when I was between 3 and 5 years old, she didn't care what I did. During this stage kids test their boundaries exploring their interpersonal skills, however for me I failed the previous stages and was doubtful of the world already. My mother wasn't overly restrictive but, I still thought I was a nuisance and did not feel capable of many things. I also failed this stage. -
Period: to
Stage 4: Industry vs. Inferiority
During this stage it is important to develop self-esteem and pride through the interactions with peers and teachers. When I was in grade school my family moved around a lot so was never had a group of friends or teachers that I liked. I looked to schoolwork to get me through life, I prided myself to accomplish straight A's and felt accomplished with school. At home I felt like a failure because, my mother didn't care about my schoolwork. I both passed and failed this stage.
