Erikson's Autonomy Vs. Shame

Erikson’s second developmental theory is Autonomy vs. Shame. This age group ranges from 1- 3 years. This was Chewbacca’s earliest recollection of past memories. He remembers riding his first tricycle down his block and all the way to the corner. It was red with a small silver bell on the right side. I went back to a series of questions that address the issues of trust and mistrust about his mother and father. Chewbacca indicated he did trust his mother because she always kept her word, but he could not trust his father. The example he gave was when he wanted someone to ride his tricycle with him. His mother would always take him out for a ride that she had set a date and time for, but when his father would set a date, and later say no. Chewbacca
