Stages Of Social-emotional Development: Erickson (1956)
Please read my last two posts on child's development Stages of Child's development: Growing together and my adolescent child has changed both socially and emotionally: what can i do to help my child control his/her emotions.
Today, I want to write about Erickson's stages of development from infancy-adult.
STAGES OF SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Social emotional development helps a child in what he will become in life by teaching proper reactions to emotional matters. Social development is about a child's ability to cooperate and play with friends and families, paying attention to elders and making reasonable changes. Emotional development is about learning how to understand and control emotions. Now in 1956, Erikson said that socialization processes has eight stages and he formulates the eight stages of development. The first four stages deal with early childhood's emotional and social development while the remaining four stages deal with adolescent and he named these stages "PSYCHOSOCIAL CRISIS".

This stage is the beginning of the child's development where the child is loved and nurtured then the child develops security and a basic optimism.
The child if badly handled develops insecurity and he becomes mistrustful.

I can really identify with the development phase I am currently supposed to be in.
Yea, thanks for reading
I happen to come across this in my year one when i took the course Psychology. The point that interested me the most was; Identity and role confusion and Integrity v Despair.
The former was because it actually appeal to my age bracket and i had to work my arse out to figure out my identity. It was indeed helpful, and i know that this will e helpful to those who just came across it for the first time.
