NAME:

Write your own life story using the stages of psychosocial development as a framework. Go
through each of the stages that apply to you (most probably, stages 1-5 or 6). Ask
information from your parents or other significant persons in your life. Also, include the
results of your questionnaire in the activity that we did relating to this lesson. Each stages
should be answered in 3-5 sentences only.

My current age:

Stage 1: At this stage, my mother said, there are many changes, like face, seeing who I look
like, a body I was born chubby and gained more weight since mama do breastfeeding. I am
very confident in my actions, so I always stumble, I thought I could always do it. The
behavior of a baby at this stage also changes. It's funny because they are already instructed,
like reaching for a comb, or get your bottle, something like that. And understand a little, like
this dress is so cute, I want you to wear this' something like that. It looks like we are
convincing them, then a baby will agree because they trust us.

Stage 2: In this stage, they said that they are focusing on me in all the actions I do every
day. At this stage, they also beat me, because I am very restless, then they do sermons
always what is right and wrong. Sometimes, they say, I still do not listen, I have my own
decisions, like do not go to the bathroom but I always do it. Also, mama said, sleep for you to
grow up more, but I don't like, I like to play more something like that. They say I have done
something wrong, but they are still preaching to me at this stage.

Stage 3: In this stage, here I am doing the action as if I do not care what my parents say, or
even if I did wrong, and then I get scolded. I never felt guilt ever, they said it was okay, and
they are always there to guide me. Papa said I do things I want, like played milk, and threw it
on the floor. Sometimes they beat me to find out that my actions are wrong. Also, my
stubbornness at this stage, then I am papa's boy, so I always feel that I have an ally, so it's
okay for me to do something wrong because that's what I wanted to do. In this stage for me,
I can always do things mistake, but we need a guide to learn more about what's right.

Stage 4: At this stage, we begin to aware of reality and be aware of what environment we
have, like how to socialize with other children, to get more friends in school. At this stage, we
are facing our idea about education that we need to study, sometimes here we think I want
to be a doctor someday, or teacher, police, etc. And our parents here to guide and maintain
our safety from the environment we face at a young age. Because there are cases,
sometimes there is something wrong with the way students teach, but that is based on the
parent standard. So parents are always focused so that we can guide our children through
the academic curriculum and Physical Education curriculum.

Stage 5: At this stage, young people have their own decision, and they can decide with their
own because they have realized in their environment how they will interact with their youth.
And some of the adolescence today they feel they already know everything, and they are
doing the right thing. And our parents are still there to guide and suggest to us better about
what we do. And our second parent's which our teacher is always watching our behaviors in
school.
Stage 6: In this stage, here someone will enter into a relationship. Some young people are
serious when it comes to relationships, but most of them do not succeed here. So as
teenagers, we need to learn more about reality in the future. It most important that we need
to cooperate with our parents to have more suggestions.

How Erikson’s theory can be useful to you as a future teacher? Answer this statement with a
maximum of 5 sentences only.

My answer: It's was helpful to me for having an idea about the behaviors of children
nowadays. I can apply this knowledge soon and as a teacher next time. I will do my best to
guide my student to a better choice. Because I believe as a second parent, I can help
students a lot if I can guide them well apart from the care of their parents. And I will not
change because I already have an idea about how to handle it carefully with faith.
