In this podcast, we’re going to be discussing Erikson’s Development Stages and how they relate to child development.

This podcast is going to provide you with some valuable information about child development. It will also tell you how to best support your child during each stage. So, if you’re looking to learn more about child development and how to support your child through various growth stages, then this podcast is for you!

Though there are many theories that explain child development, the one I found most useful was Erikson’s Psychosocial theory. This podcast explains every important stage in a child’s life using this theory – infancy, early childhood, preschool, school age and adolescence (teenage). Further, it also gives a quick glimpse of the adult stages. This podcast will also guide you on how to support social and emotional development of a child right.

Unless there is an issue, children’s mental development and growth does not get discussed generally. Physical development is what takes up most of the discussion space. It is important to understand that the former is equally important too and parents can do the most in ensuring their children’s healthy mental development also.

At several junctures in our life we end up wondering why we are the way we are. While all of it is not easy to explain, most of it is. Listen to this podcast to understand more.
