    The theory of psychosocial development, proposed by Erik Erikson, stresses the idea of continuous growth met with several identity crises influenced by the social environment. According to Erikson, humans are constantly developing and changing throughout their lives, not only in a physical sense but also personality wise. These life developments vary on the age of the person and can be determined through the eight psychosocial stages defined by Erikson. Each stage involves a crisis which can have two different types of resolutions—malignant and maladaptive. The ego of a person can affect the outcome of the resolution which is further influenced by family, friends, school, and more, otherwise known as the social environment.…

The eight stages include infancy (trust vs mistrust); early childhood (autonomy vs. shame, doubt); play age (initiative…

    In contemporary society, many people see the search and formation of personal relationships in younger generations (e.g. adolescent and young adults).

I don’t want my children to feel self-conscious about their skills, because it can impact their self-concept negatively.
