  • Infancy

    When I was an infant, I hit a developmental milestone by beginning to crawl, a motor physical development. This also means that I was going through Piaget's first of four phases, sensorimotor.
  • Toddler

    When I was two years old, in my toddler stage, I was speaking in small bursts of words, meaning that significant language development was taking place.
  • Toddler II

    I considered stealing one of my friend's toys as a toddler, but ultimately decided against it because I was afraid of getting into trouble for it, which means I was in the pre-conventional stage of morality because I wasn't following the rules because I understood them, I was following them because I didn't want to get punished.
  • Childhood I

    When I was four years old, I underwent social development by entering pre-school, where I first encountered school rules and social norms around others.
  • Childhood II

    At age six, I underwent moral development when I cheated on a board game we were playing in school, and began to understand how breaking the rules affected others. This fits into Kohlberg's conventional morality, because I was following the rules others imposed and not just following them to avoid getting into trouble.
  • Childhood III

    When I was ten and in fifth grade, I began memorizing flashcards to help me prepare for a test, which was cognitive development.
  • Adolescence I

    My adjustment to high school and the differences between my current life and my prior experiences was social-emotional development because I was building on my relationships with others to give myself a positive experience in a new situation.
  • Adolescence II

    I hit a growth spurt and gained four inches over the summer I turned fifteen. This was physical development and maturation.
  • Adolescence III

    When I was sixteen, I was trying to stay on top of all my assignments to get them in on time, showing maturation because I was thinking of consequences and reasons outside of my immediate feeling to do something.
