Questions that come to my mind are those such as::
What can I teach my kids meaningfully?
What will my legacy be?
When i’m gone, what will my children and family remember about me?
Which parts of myself, do I teach my children to prepare them for their own life?
I ask myself questions like that daily as conscious thoughts, and sometimes even worry I may not be able to fully answer them in this lifetime. In unconscious ways, I believe in how I play with them, time we spend together,even some of the manners and action I may portray in their presence will help to ensure I answer these questions before completion of this stage.
Stage of Erikson's Eight Stages Somebody Else I Know is Currently Living:
Individual:
My younger brother Nicholas is 15 years old, my choice is to explain his current stage according to Erikson. In January Nicholas will be 16 and currently I see him living or falling in the Stage 5 which is Adolescence or Young Adulthood(Identity vs. Role confusion).
Description of Young Adulthood or Adolescence((Identity vs. Role …show more content…
For those around us unfortunately, some of us may fall into a period of withdrawing from responsibilities, which Erikson called a "moratorium." In the chance we are unsuccessful in navigating this stage, we will experience role confusion and upheaval.
Central Question Posed During Adolescence Stage: How do I fit into the world? Who am I?
How Nicholas has Consciously or Unconsciously Sought to Answer that Question: I am unable to read the mind of my younger brother so I'm not quite sure how unconsciously he may trued to answer this question. In my observation he has asked me questions about himself. Questions such as asking me if he’s cool, approval of his clothing, music, and hobbies. Nicholas participates in sports, boy scouts, and actively joins family conversations during holidays. I don't believe he has answered the questions posed during this stage yet I believe he is still attempting to figure them out.
