Teachers can make you feel like you are a slow learner (negative) or they can tell you learn in a different way then the class is being taught, and then work with them to understand the material.

\nI found this Erickson\u2019s theory interesting and pretty accurate. I don\u2019t think it is true in every case mainly because our world has changed to much and now kids have so much more that shape them from a young age other than just their parents. For example, as I was reading the trust vs. mistrust section, I found myself disagreeing with it, because even if a kid is in the right environment, they still might grow up with anxiety and mistrust. This could be personality or a learned characteristic as they grew up and experienced more. I am not trying to argue with Erickson, but I think it is interesting how our developmental stages change due to culture or can be unlearned due to experience.
\n I will be teaching K-5 (hopefully) so my students will be in the initiative vs. guilt stage as well as the industry vs. inferiority stage. Since they will be beginning to assert themselves and make up their own games and activities, it is the perfect stage to let them be in control of their art work. Of course, I will still have to teach them basics (you have to learn the rules before you can break them), but I would love to give them projects that they are in control of. And since they will be developing into someone who is proud of their accomplishments and achieving goals, I will reinforce that and help give them reasons to be proud of themselves by hanging their work up or by having an \u201cart star\u201d award.

\nI think it is possible to address the needs of someone who has suffered a negative resolution, but I don\u2019t think I will be able to erase the negative resolution all together. I can do my best to reinforce good behavior and encourage them. For example, if I know a student has been verbally abused or is being verbally abused at home, I would pay special attention to how I addressed them and give them direction. I might try to avoid giving them commands and focus more on helping them come to their own conclusion about directions. For example, instead of saying \u201cdon\u2019t touch the scissors. I havnt told you to do that yet!\u201d I could say, \u201cif you want, instead of playing with scissors, you could free draw for a little bit until I can tell everyone the direction regarding the scissors.\u201d","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61023904","dateCreated":"1354771308","smartDate":"Dec 5, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"laeling1","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/laeling1","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61023904"},"dateDigested":1532724627,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Erikson response","description":"What connections can you make between this theories and people you know or yourself?

\n Connections that I can make between these two are that I can identify people or instances when people are going through each stage. While these are not major conflicts that occur in every person\u2019s life, they are certainly common themes throughout. If one conflict, say generativity vs. stagnation or isolation vs intimacy, becomes a major issue in young to mid-adult hood and goes unresolved, a person will not be able to accomplish the next stage, integrity and despair, in a healthy or safe way.

\nIf I encountered a person who was struggling to resolve their \u201cidentity vs confusion\u201d conflict, I would be able to see the internal struggle resulting from that. They would be very dependent on their family since they have not gained a strong sense of independence or self-reliability. They also not have a strong sense of self, so their personality would be very fickle and susceptible to change and influence, and more likely to be negative influence. I would attempt to help them informally by encouraging and assuring them to do what made them happy and to do it for themselves and not to impress others. Hopefully over time, this would help them strengthen their self-worth enough in order to move on to the next stage of finding a mate in isolation vs intimacy.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"60990174","dateCreated":"1354491733","smartDate":"Dec 2, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"mgreathousemarshall","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/mgreathousemarshall","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/60990174"},"dateDigested":1532724627,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"MGreathouse -Erikson","description":"What connections can you make between this theory and people you know or yourself?

\nThere is a great connect between this theory and what I know from myself and others. In high school students are supposed to be in the Identity vs. Role Confusion or the Intimacy vs. Isolation stages. Unfortunately we have to deal with children who are still struggling in earlier stages that they never had a chance to deal with, especially those from an inner-city school. Many of them have trust issues because of something that has happened to them as a child, such as a parent who was never at home, getting abused by someone they trust or being told they are not smart or are capable of doing anything positive.

\nAddressing a negative reaction can sometimes be tricky. We must first try to understand why the student did what they did. The first reaction by most people is to judge. This will not help. Talk with the student and figure out what was going on in their head when they did it. I\u2019ve seen students who went off on other students because of something that was said to them when they were having a bad day. I understand that everyone has a bad day every once in a while. One rule I have always set in my class is that we are allowed to have them, but you have to let me know ahead of time. When they come into the classroom, come to me (in private) and let me know that they are in a bad mood and really don\u2019t feel like being engaged that day. I allow them to sit in the back of the classroom, away from the other students. When students see the person back there, they normally leave them alone. I don\u2019t call on the person and the other students do not try to engage. It\u2019s not a punishment, but it\u2019s allowing the student know that I know and care about them. In most cases, the student eventually engages themselves in the class discussion on their own, without any probing from me. This opens the door to communication and trust from the student. They feel a since of belonging and knowing that their feelings matter in my classroom.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"60987362","dateCreated":"1354474520","smartDate":"Dec 2, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"ChristineAngi","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/ChristineAngi","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/60987362"},"dateDigested":1532724627,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Response","description":"What connections can you make between this theory and people you know or yourself?
\nThis is something I can readily connect to children that I babysit on a regular basis. I often look after a 5 year old and I would identify him with being in his Initiative Vs. Guilt stage. He is always testing everyone\u2019s limits around him and seeking attention from pushing these boundaries. He appears to be exploring to find out weather he is \u201cgood or bad\u201d. From some of the stunts he pulls someone might initially conclude that he is striving to be \u201cbad\u201d, however he has made points to tell me about his best friend at preschool who is always pulling much bigger stunts in class and when I ask is he did this as well he always laughs and tells me no in a way that expresses that he would never do something that bad. He is always encouraged positively by his parents which may cause him to feel no shame or guilt and make him feel as though he is free to continue these behaviors while still desiring to be \u201cgood\u201d.
\n
\nWhat grade do you intend on teaching?
\nI am currently and Early Childhood and Intervention major and I intend on teaching a special needs classroom of ideally Third grade students.
\n
\nWhere would these students be, according to Erikson?
\nThe lines are definitely blurred because I would be working with children with a range of mental and physical capabilities but given students were developing at a normal rate socially these students would fall into the Industry Vs Inferiority stage. This is where a reasonable amount of recognition needs to implemented to build a strong, solid sense of self confidence.

\nA High school student may have gotten into a verbal disagreement with another student and chooses to resolve the situation with physical violence. You would have to stop this altercation immediately and sit down with both students then individually. When you are speaking with the student who initiated the altercation you can be mindful of the student being to the stage of wanting or needing to fit in and confusion about his or her self when addressing the conflict correctly, including a rundown of how even though it may seem as though it was the cool or tough thing to do that that is not the person he or she has to be.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"60908696","dateCreated":"1353768428","smartDate":"Nov 24, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"kleitschuh","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/kleitschuh","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/60908696"},"dateDigested":1532724627,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Erikson Response","description":"Erikson
\n
\nWhat connections can you make between this theory and people you know or yourself?
\n
\nWith this theory revolving around conflicts, I feel like it is very important to always be positive thus resolving the conflict positively. Just from the beginning in the first stage Trust vs. Mistrust, I remember when my baby cousin was born and just watching how she would choose to craw to the women who talked in the positive baby voices instead of someone with a deep voice. I feel like that was apart of her trusting stage. For a personal connection, that probably everyone has had, I would choose the Industry vs. Inferiority stage. What child didn\u2019t feel on top of the world and so accomplished when you would receive good grades or made a goal in your game. I always had such a large support group so when I accomplished these things as a child it was never a little deal making me always feel positive.
\n
\nWhat grade do you intend on teaching?
\n
\nAs of this year I am a triple major of Early Childhood, Intervention and Art Therapy. I love working with children of all ages, but for a classroom setting I think I would enjoy having a third grade class or be in an intervention classroom.
\n
\nWhere would these students be, according to Erikson?
\n
\nAccording to Erikson, if my third graders were around 8, my students are in the Industry vs. Inferiority stage. But as for Intervention, I feel that trying to classify them to a stage is too hard to say. There is a wide verity of disabilities in Intervention classrooms and they will most likely be at different stages of their development or maturity. The most important thing I think for any classroom I\u2019m in is that you don\u2019t classify your children as a whole but you identify each student\u2019s strengths individually.

\n
\nBeing a triple major, I have tried to set my future with a wide verity of jobs. As a teacher in Early Childhood or Intervention, I will be working in a school setting, public or private. With my Art Therapy degree, I could work in a school setting as a counselor or have a client-based practice outside of school in settings such as hospitals and nursing homes. In being an Art Therapist, I will most likely be working with individuals who resolved the Erikson theory in a negative way. With my degree I will be able to work with any of these stages. For example if I was working at a nursing home I would be looking at how to keep my clients from looking at the Ego Integrity vs. Despair stage in a negative way. These will be individuals who are senior citizens and start to look back on their lives. The possible reason I would see this client could be due to depression, as the individual views themselves as living a pointless life. I would help this individual find positive memories in their life. Or I would provide this individual the space to bring out these negative memories and learn to defeat them.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"58781384","body":"You can use all three of your majors no matter what job you have!

\nConnections to myself would be that even though I don\u2019t remember them, I went through the first two stages. I can remember going through the third stage Initiative vs. Guilt, this was the time when as kids we would always play house make up games like that. The Industry vs. Inferiority stage I think has a lot to do with sports that most children have started by now and in my case I was doing soccer and gymnastics. I always felt like I did better in soccer and it was a sport my parents could watch and were very encouraging but with gymnastics it wasn\u2019t a sport where they would stay and watch so I never got much feedback with gymnastics so I ended up just sticking with soccer alone. Also this was a time when the science fairs and Invention Convention were popular, I was always very in reading and writing and was always told that I wasn\u2019t as strong in math and science so I never felt good enough to enter the Science Fairs, I did however participate in invention convention and was very proud of my \u201cbaby bumpers\u201d invention because I got a lot of encouragement and it made it decently far in the competition. So that would be another connection to the industry vs. Inferiority stage. As for as the Identity vs. Role Confusion that would probably be the stage I am currently in as I am still 19. I think that in high school it is very hard to see where you \u201cfit in\u201d so you are constantly trying new things. In college even you have to find your niche, which can be challenging as well. I have not yet gone through the other stages, Intimacy vs. Isolation, Generativity vs. Stagnation and Ego Integrity vs. Despair, but I know I am well on my way.
\nI plan on being in a classroom with students with disabilities. I feel that they will probably all be on different stages as some may not mature normally or may not be as fully developed. It is hard to say as a generality where my students will be but I think it will be very important to identify where each student is individually.

\n
\nWithin the context of a classroom environment I might be able to help a student who has resolved a conflict in a negative way by stopping that student and pointing them in the right direction, then once they have done the right thing reward them with positive praise and words of encouragement. An example conflict would be if a student (elementary age) has a negative reaction to a homework assignment you could pull them aside and make them stop for a minute and talk to them about their negative reaction. Lets say they reacted this way because mom and dad don\u2019t help them with homework so they never have any help. You can help this student out by telling them that it is okay to make mistakes on the homework as long as you try your best and you as the teacher can work with the student on the homework after school or during reading time for example. It would be important to be encouraging with the student and help to make homework more positive so that they don\u2019t continue having a negative connotation on homework.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"57929352","body":"I had a similar experience with music--I played both violin and piano and had private lessons on both.

\nFortunately, I believe I resolved all of the conflicts in the positive way. In the initiative vs. guilt stage, I remember making up tons of games, and asking my friends to play. In the Industry vs. Inferiority stage, I remember beginning to feel accomplished when I would receive good grades. In the Identity vs. Role Confusion stage, I started considering what I would do with my life, which took me a while to solve. In the Intimacy vs. Isolation stage, which I am currently in, I have entered a very serious, committed relationship.

\n\u2022 After watching the video and learning about the different stages of development, I can definitely relate to each one as I look back upon my own life and the lives of others. Although I can\u2019t recall the first two stages because I was so young, I can look back on my younger brother and see how he built trust with my parents and learned to do things himself. When I was younger I can remember struggling with making judgments and deciding on whether or not to do things. In addition, when I was younger I can remember when I undertook a task, or played in a sports game my parents and teachers were always very encouraging which contributed to my confidence and feeling of successfulness. To continue, I just recently passed through the stage of Identity vs. Role confusion. Throughout high school I can see examples of people trying new activities and experimenting to see where they \u201cfit in\u201d. The rest of the stages I have yet to experience, but I can see them through my parents and grandparents. I intend on teaching grades K-3, that means my students will be in Initiative Vs. Guilt or Industry vs. Inferiority.

\n\u2022 I do believe that it is possible to address the needs of someone who has suffered a negative resolution. Within the classroom, as a teacher I may need to meet the basic needs of children to develop their trust, allow them to undertake appropriate activities themselves, provide them with guidance, and encourage them through praise. For example, if a children has a feeling of inferiority because of experiences in school or at home, it would be my role to provide them with tasks that allow them to grow and succeed.
