At this age I was vulnerabe, because if I was not given the care that I needed I might of grew up to establish trust isseues.

  • Sensorimotor (Cognitive Development)

    Sensorimotor (Cognitive Development)
    At around 12 months old I was still fresh to the world. Being clueless I would explore my surroundings by hearing, touching, mouthing, and grasping. I then utilized these skills to determine my safe zones in contrast to the dangerous areas. I then determined that my mother and father were my safe zones. As a reasult I would approach them in the presence of fear/danger creating a bond of trust and love.
  • Toddlerhood (Psychosocial Development)

    Toddlerhood (Psychosocial Development)
    At the age of two I recal my parents giving me the freedom to walk alone with out thier assistance. I also slightly recal them encouraging me to ask questions and be curious. At that age my parents encouraged me to be self-dependant and confident. They worried that if they did not do so I would grow up to be shameful and doubtful. As a reasult of their successful parenting techniques I grew up to be confident and self reliant/dependent.
  • Pre-operational Stage (Cognitive Development)

    Pre-operational Stage (Cognitive Development)
    At the age of six I was both walking and talking perfectly. However due to my age and parents' sweetness I developed some schema. I would think that the world revolves around me and that everything that I wanted must happen. Egocentrism caused my parents to question my mentality and re-think their parenting style. I would approach random strangers and tell them what to do/give them orders. My schema lasted till I was around seven years old in which I then got a reality check.

    At the age of 10 my parents were signing me up to several after school classes such as: math, english, french, and science. They were trying to increase my intelligence to make me competent. They worried that if they wont do so I will be inferior. As a reasult, I ended up enjoying school and being more inteligent than most of the people my age. Since the brain is still developing it is easier to take in information. Knowing that, my parents took advantage of the situation.
