, Stage eight - 65 years to End of Life. Accepts their
Integrity vs Despair life their death.
The stage in which a child Industry vs. Inferiority
needs to learn important
academic skills and compare
favorably with peers in school
to achieve competence is the
which stage.
If children accomplish Industry vs. Inferiority
competence in this stage, they

Erikson's Eight Stages of Psychosocial Development
, Mary and Fred have one child Trust vs. Mistrust
and want to adopt a second.
Since their first child's infancy
had been extremely difficult on
Mary, she was excited at the
possibility of adopting an older
child, perhaps a well-behaved,
toilet-trained 3 year-old, and
skipping the infancy period
entirely. Fred, on the other
hand, had serious misgivings
not knowing about the quality
of care giving and relationships
in this child's early life. In a 3
year-old's case, he felt that
inadequate care and improper
resolution of what Erickson
stage could lead to irreparable
damage in later development?
Mistrust in others and self will Trust vs. Mistrust
make it more difficult to
successfully achieve a sense of
autonomy.
If an infant's needs for Trust vs. Mistrust
nourishment, stimulation,
affection, and attention are not
met during this stage from 0-1
year-old, infants will fail to
establish basic trust or to feel
valuable, carrying "mistrust"
with them into the next stage
of development.
