Integrity vs. Despair (Older Adult) Basic Trust vs. Mistrust - Answer Birth to 18 months. During the beginning stages of life infants will either be cared for and nurtured properly by parents through visual contact and touch promoting optimism, trust, confidence, and security, or the child will not be cared for properly therefore developing insecurity, worthlessness, and general mistrust. Autonomy vs. Shame - Answer 18 months to 3 years. Self-esteem and autonomy is being built during the stage. The well-cared for child will be sure of him/herself, carrying themselves with pride. Since the terrible two's occur during this stage, some children will feel shame and insecurity during an inability to learn certain skills. Initiative vs. Guilt - Answer 3 to 5 years. Social success leads to a sense of purpose during this stage, where social failure or being neglected through play by friends or family results in guilt.
