Xianne Amber Carser Life Story

1st Stage (0-18 months old)

You’ve probably noticed that your little one’s

totally dependent on you for everything:
food, warmth, comfort. Be there for your
baby by giving them not only physical care,
but also plenty of love — no need to hold
back the cuddles.
By providing these basic needs, you teach
them that they can depend on you. This
builds within them the psychological strength
of trust. Feeling secure and safe, your infant
will be ready to experience the world. No
infant grows up in a perfect world. Occasional
turbulence gives your child a touch of
wariness. With this, when they’re ready to experience the world, they’ll keep
an eye out for obstacles.
Xianne Amber was born pre-mature baby and born 1 month earlier than
expected she was 4.9 pounds and have same size with 1 liter of Coca-cola
bottle. A very adorable, beautiful and behave infant I ever known because
she just cries when she’s hungry and wet but just make a little sound of
crying and go back to sleep after she is satisfied and feel good again.
Development of infants is very important because this the start of having
their firsts in their life. First to see the world, hearing, taste, cry, love and
smile this the stage where the human development is crucial because if they
can’t get enough nutrients, attention and love that they need it will affect
their growth and behavior. Proper care and attention to infants is needed for
them to achieve their 1st stage of development well.
2ND STAGE (18-months-4-years-old)

You know that you’ve hit this milestone when your toddler starts to
assert their independence. They realize that they can do some things by
themselves — and they insist on those things.
By this stage, your toddler has food preferences. So let them choose their
own snacks. Or let them choose which shirt they want to wear. Sure, there’ll
be times when their clothes just don’t match. Grin and bear it because giving
them the space to choose means helping them build their self-esteem.
Here’s another biggie: Your toddler is ready for toilet training. Learning to
control their bodily functions gives them a feeling of independence or
autonomy. Children who come through this stage with flying colors will
believe in themselves and feel secure in their abilities. Children who aren’t
given the chance to assert themselves (within the limits you set) will battle
with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt, according to Erikson.
In this stage where Amber’s develop her speaking, behavior, walking and
making the choices in food, clothes toys and etc. This is the most alertness
of the safety of the baby or a person because in this stage they tend to climb
up and hold everything they want without even knowing if it is dangerous or
not. They tend to more active in this stage because they are developing their
muscles, cognitive and socioemotional ability so the parents need to guide
and support the kids want and give them the proper know-how about things
around them.
3RD STAGE (4-6 years old)

These are the preschool years. As your

child interacts socially and plays with
others, they learn that they can take
the initiative and control what happens.
You can encourage your child to plan,
achieve goals, and take responsibility
by making sure they have plenty of
opportunities to interact with others.
Let them explore the world within the
limits you set up. Take them to visit
older adults and give out chocolates.
Set up playdates for them with their
peers.
And don’t forget that you can be a playmate, too. Give your child a chance
to direct the show by letting them be the teacher, doctor, or sales clerk
while you act the student, patient, or customer. Here’s when your child
starts asking endless questions. Sometimes your miniature philosopher will
wonder where dogs go after they die when you’ve just settled down to watch
the show you missed because you took them to a second playdate. Breathe
in. By addressing these questions with genuine interest, you’re investing in
your child’s positive self-image. This stage is about much more than just
calling the shots. Through both interacting with others socially and through
play, your child develops self-confidence and learns to enjoy having a sense
of purpose. However, if parents are controlling or don’t support their child
when they make decisions, the child may not be equipped to take the
initiative, may lack ambition, and could be filled with guilt. Overpowering
feelings of guilt can prevent a child from interacting with others and deter
their creativity.
In this stage Amber start to go to school and continuing developing his
cognitive and behavior. I remember when she enters his classroom for the
very first time, she cries a lot and don’t want me to leave inside the
classroom. This happens because this is the first time where we are being
separated for a couple of hours and she’s afraid that her teacher might get
angry with her and scold her. Amber grows in at peace and no harm and
loud voices from both of us parents of her that’s why she is very sensitive
when someone raise voices towards her.

4TH STAGE (6 years old- 12yearl old)

In this stage Amber I support her in everything she likes even joining a
pageant, majorette, dancing, singing, or a play. Because I know that getting
the proper support in every child’s talent or skill may develop them and
maybe become their career someday, parents must just need to address
properly how or what support does their child need.
This was where she hit elementary school. Here’s where they learn new
skills. It’s also where her circle of influence widens. Amber has plenty of
teachers and peers. She may start comparing herself to others. If she decide
that she’s doing well scholastically, on the sports field, at the arts, or
socially, my child will develop feelings of pride and accomplishment.
If you notice that your child struggles in one area, look for another area in
which they can shine. Help your kiddo develop their strengths in areas
where they have a natural flair.
They may not be math whizzes, but perhaps they can draw or sing. Are they
naturally patient with younger kids? Let them help out with taking care of
their siblings.
When your child succeeds, they’ll feel industrious and believe they can set
goals — and reach them. However, if children have repeated negative
experiences at home or feel that society is too demanding, they may
develop feelings of inferiority.
And as her life goes on, I will be still right here by her side to support and
love her until she fullfil her dreams and have her own family and until my
last breath.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The research method used in this qualitative investigation was
an 'exploratory, descriptive, case study'. A specific sample was
chosen to limit the study and details are provided below. A
semi-structured and open-ended interview schedule was
developed to enable the participants to relate their experiences
as fully as possible. The open-ended component was added to
provide the flexibility to pursue issues raised by participants
and to seek further information. The original quantitative
instrument was used to ensure that the information sought was
comprehensive and that there was some degree of
comparability amongst the responses.

Reflection No. 6

Erik Erikson was a developmental psychologist known for his theory on

psychosocial development. Unlike other theorists of his time Erikson’s theory
focused on human development across the lifespan from birth to late
adulthood. Erickson believed that development change occurs throughout our
lives in eight distinctive stages that emerge in a fixed pattern and are similar
for all people. Erickson argued that each stage presents a crisis or conflict
which results in either a positive or negative outcome (Feldman).
Stage 1 – Infancy period: Trust vs. Mistrust
Virtue: Hope, Maldevelopment: Withdrawal
Concomitant Freudian stage: oral stage
Example: Secure environment provided by the caregiver, with regular access
to affection and food
Stage 2 – Early Childhood period: Autonomy vs. Shame, doubt
Virtue: Will, Maldevelopment: Compulsion
Concomitant Freudian stage: anal stage
Example: Caregiver promotes self-sufficiency while maintaining a secure
environment
Stage 3 – Play Age period: Initiative vs. Guilt
Virtue: Purpose, Maldevelopment: Inhibition
Concomitant Freudian stage: genital stage
Example: Caregiver encourages, supports, and guides the child’s own
initiatives and interests
Stage 4 – School Age period: Industry vs. Inferiority
Virtue: Competence, Maldevelopment: Inertia (passivity)
Concomitant Freudian stage: latency stage
Example: Reasonable expectations set in school and at home, with praise for
their accomplishments
Stage of Adolescence
Stage 5 – Adolescence period: Identity vs. Identity confusion
Virtue: Fidelity, Maldevelopment: Repudiation
Example: Individual weighs out their previous experiences, societal
expectations, and their aspirations in establishing values and ‘finding
themselves.’
Stages of Adulthood 
Stage 6 – Young Adulthood period: Intimacy vs. Isolation
Virtue: Love, Maldevelopment: Distantiation
Example: Individual forms close friendships or long-term partnership
Stage 7 – Adulthood period: Generativity vs. Stagnation/Self-absorption
Virtue: Care, Maldevelopment: Rejectivity
Example: Engagement with the next generation through parenting,
coaching, or teaching
Stage 8 – Old Age period: Integrity vs. Despair
Virtue: Wisdom, Maldevelopment: Disdain  
Example: Contemplation and acknowledgment of personal life
accomplishments
A ninth stage was added by Erik Erikson’s wife, Joan Erikson. It considers
new challenges experienced with continued aging and incorporates aspects
from all previous eight stages of psychosocial development.
The sequential layout of Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial Development might
initially suggest that stage outcomes become fixed once the next stage is
engaged. While there is a fixed sequence, resolution can be a life-long
process, re-activated at various times depending on life events that affect
the ego strength or maldeveloped belief pattern. Resolution is not required
to move on to the next stage. Additionally, with advancement to a new
stage, preceding stages are questioned and must be reintegrated. This is
why his theory is sometimes referred to as an ‘epigenetic principle.’
Additional research suggests that the latter four stages are, to an extent, a
repetition of previous stages. As an example, the stage of intimacy can be
considered a combination of autonomy and trust. Thus, the developmental
stages and formation of identity is an ever-evolving process, as opposed to a
rigid concrete system.
