Explanation:

Erik Erikson- He is a popular German-American developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst. He developed the "Stages of Psychosocial Development." The theory focuses on the impact that external factors have on the a person's personality development from childhood until adulthood. It consists of 8 stages, but we will be focusing only on the first stage.

The First Stage: Trust vs. Mistrust

According to Erikson, this pyschosocial stage occurs between birth and one year of age (approximately 18 months of age). He considers it to be the most fundamental and significant stage. The infant is highly dependent at this stage especially on his caregivers. The quality of care is very important in order to meet the infant's needs. If the needs are met, then the infant will develop a sense of basic trust. If the needs are not met, then the infant will develop mistrust, suspicion and even anxiety.

It is very essential to provide a consistent and reliable care in order for infants to feel secure during this stage.
