Piaget's Stages

Stage 1: Sensormotor Stage

Starts at birth to age 2 they learn object permanence,they are seperate from the world around them, realize actions affect the world around them

Stage 2: Preoperational stage

2 to 7 years children tend to be egocentric and have a hard time seeing things from other's views,while they are getting better at launguage and thinking they still think in concrete terms.

Erickson's Stages

• Infancy: Children develop a sense of trust when parents or caregivers provide reliability, care, and affection. A lack of this will lead to mistrust.
• Early Childhood: Need to develop a sense of personal control over physical skills and independence
• Pre-school:

Eriksons Psychosocial Stages

• Trust vs. Mistrust: {birth to 18 months}
• When you don't show effections toward the child, like patting them on the head, holding them, giving them care when they cry, they will become distrustful of you or anybody else
• Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt: {2-3 years old}
