Erickson

Out of the people that we learned about, the person that I found most interesting was Erickson. The reason that I found him most interesting because he talks about how people are always changing throughout their life and as a child, sometimes you have to do that without the help from your parents. Autonomy vs Shame and Doubt is a good example of this. It explains that through the stage of age 1-3 years old. He explained that to be successful through this stage children need to be able to figure and work things out on their own to get a sense of mastery and excitement when the task is accomplished.
Above I mentioned a stage of where you really don't want your parents help with much, but there is a stage where your parents are very important. In the stage Trust vs Mistrust, dealing with the age 0-1, it is very important that your parents or any care giver to meet the babies needs so that they gain a sense of trust in them, and have a good outlook on life and go into the world having a good outlook on life and also having that feeling of trust with them.
