development, children develop a sense
of trust when caregivers provide
reliability, care, and affection. A lack
of this will lead to mistrust

children
are just starting to gain a little
independence.

social interactions.

during the often turbulent teenage years.

developing a sense of personal identity
which will continue to influence behavior
and development for the rest of a person's life.
00:51
Our personal identity gives
each of us an integrated
and cohesive sense of self
that endures through our lives.
Our sense of personal identity
is shaped by our experiences
and interactions with others,
and it is this identity that
helps guide our actions, beliefs,
and behaviors as we age.

and a general feeling of
satisfaction. These
individuals will attain wisdom,
even when confronting death.
