Answer 1

Erik Erikson trust vs mistrust theory psychosocial development, it happens from birth to 18months of age..it is an important period in one's life it make them with personality..In this stage child will adopt the world from parents and family with trust.. Infant depends on caregiver, the life receives from them is a important role for shaping the child's personality.. caregiver shows the responsible for infants when it needs for some things..That time trust will grow..that time child trust the caregiver around them..If their needs are unmet by them there will be mistrust arise..failure to develop trust results makes mistrust..

Child wants to have their needs by their own when they grow up..child develop with autonomy or feelings about their choice..it makes them comfortable..As a parent's we have to encourage them, for their choice..

Autonomy, shame, and doubt make the child struggle with feelings psychological development..

Guilty when they grow up in toddler age to school age.. caregiver support will avoid this guilty feeling..

Inferiority in adolescents age they meet competencies, school play a important role.. caregiver encouragement in learning new skills will help get this competence..

Confusion in this age by passing different phases it take them in different ways..

Isolation during Adult age when the love broken for them, lack of strong bonds may make them feel isolation and loneliness..

Stagnation after Adult age they feel inactive and meaningless because major changes will happen in this stage with family, workplace and society..

The person I know my neighbour aunty aged 65years old her needs left unmet and fulfilled, she feels her entire life despair..she experienced her life sad, anxiety, depression and regret..

Infancy behaviour involved in environment factors that disturb the child's emotional development and it's personality..

My friend child having sibling sister..my friend spend most of the time for her little one's..so there is lot of emotional bond developed between her elder child and to my friend..it made child emotional disturbance with loneliness....

Spending equal time with child and encourage them in all activities will avoid this emotional disturbance.environment and child development correlated ,make sure to provide positive and happy life..

Infants thrive on mother feeding, when it lacks this infants develop with poor motor skills and social development of toddler and young children..
