The first theory that has influenced my parenting style is Erickson’s theory of psychosocial development. This theory emphasizes the major psychosocial challenges that are important at a specific time in life. For example, I have learned that a baby must develop a sense of security with in the first 18-months of life, and then develop a balance of independence by the time he reaches 3 years old. I have applied this theory while raising Sebastian, because I want him to have a healthy development in the area of personality. One decision that I have made with Sebastian as a newborn was to attend to all his needs. For example, if he was wet, cold or hungry, I was there to comfort him.
