Babies are born with some basic capabilities and distinct temperaments. But they go through dramatic changes as they grow. According to psychologist Erik H. Erikson, each individual passes through eight developmental stages from birth through adulthood. Here we look at five of those stages, bringing an infant through to adolescence. This model is the standard for child development.
Each stage has a different goal which the child must reach before moving on to the next stage. These are like developmental milestones. If a child does not master the developmental milestone in each stage, it can cause behavioral, emotional or social delays. This chart outlines each stage.
