Introduction On November 22, 2015, I interviewed someone about on their personal development based off Erikson’s stages of development. We met at a local coffee shop in Topeka that both of us were familiar with. I chose to study this particular stage of development because it is the one I am currently preparing the most for. The decisions I make today will prepare for and affect my future. The stage of development I am currently in will lead into a career, self-confidence, and building a family with a husband and children, which are all descriptors of the stage of development I have chosen to study.
Description
The individual I interviewed is Krista Kruggel. The space was rather large, but the coffee shop was not too busy. This made our …show more content…
She spoke about the pressures of being a mom, and how much influence she has on her children’s life. The reality of molding a child’s values and consciences is overwhelming, yet amazing to her. In a study of children’s behavior in relation to their mother’s personality, Babaee & Jain (2009) wrote, “The necessity of having a healthy society is having healthy mothers.” (p.213) They continue explaining how the most important years of development occur during childhood. Not only is Krista developing herself, she is also responsible for fostering healthy development in her three children as well. Without her nurturing, loving and patient presence with her children, the author’s suggest the effect being highly negative writing, “problems in this primary mother child relationship, such as specific properties of mother character, mother's psychological disorder, unfamiliarity of mother in child training, lack of an appropriate and fundamental communication with child, can result in psychological disorders in future life of the child.” (p.220) Another source that stresses the need to care for oneself during this stage of development studied the high rates of depression in young adults. Park & Fuhrer (2013) explain this as; “Early adulthood is a particularly sensitive period for developing depression as depression onset occurs most commonly during this life stage. This is troubling given the reported associated increase in depression severity, recurrence, and psychosocial impairment” (p.1830) Depression is an alarming and serious threat to an individual’s development, and for Krista, it is also a threat to her children’s development as described by the previous authors. Again, we must be sure to take care of ourselves during young adult hood. It will benefit us individually and always the ones we are committed
