Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Stages

Oral Sensory Stage:


Basic Trust versus Mistrust

 During infancy, an anxious or an ineffective mother can bring mistrust to her child.

How? Imagine, a newborn babies, crying, helpless, has poor visual acuity, cannot move around, cannot sit down yet, all the signal the baby gives is his cry, and the mother would not get the baby immediately. That must be a scary experience.

 But if the baby cries, and there is help and assistance, there is a calming sound, "Baby..baby"", that would soothe the child and the child will learn to trust so the next time when he or she cries, the mother will be there. The child then learns hope. The infant's first social achievement is TRUST, there is a willingness to let the mother out of sight without due anxiety or rage because the mother consistently responds to her baby's hunger with appropriate and affectionate feeling. Some new mothers feels anxious because they do not know how to hold or calm their baby. But the more you let your newborn cry the more he will know that he or she should cry more.

 The Muscular-Anal Stage: Autonomy Versus Shame and Doubt.

 The next stage in your child's life would then deal about the child's wanting for autonomy. Because the child has developed his muscles and is capable of sitting, standing, running, climbing the stairs, jumping etc. The child more or less has some control over the environment. 

What can the parent do that can harm the child? During toilet training, a parent can be over-protective where they impose rigid and restrictive, they can be described as having rigid rules for toilet-training like making your child stay inside the comform room until he relieves himself or herself. "stay there until you finish poopoo". "Wait until we get home, before you popoo". If you are in a mall, the Rest Rooms are dirty here, "wait until we see a clean one". Parents can also be disgusted and extremely upset or overpermissive. "Why now? when we are eating?", why now when we are in waiting in line?" The best thing to do is to be reassuring and supportive, not overly permissive and retentive.

We bought a traveller potty-trainer which is always in the car, so whenever Kiara feels like wee wee or poo poo she can do it. We never had any problem with toilet-training since whenever she has to go to the bathroom, we stop whatever we are doing to support her and she already established a schedule for this activity which is around in the afternoon. Her cousin was not too successful because he has to wear a diaper and poo poo in the diaper, he never learns to sit in the toilet bowl..

Injury Lawyer

I am attending the Psychological Association of the Philippines Convention here at Iloilo City and one of the topics presented was on being an Expert Witness. One of the issue presented was on the professional fees of psychologist. Fees can be an important factors in any legal or professional services and sometimes it is the most undiscussed because clients may be too shy to ask or the professional do not willingly discuss it with their clients.

In Hawaii however in case you meet an accident a Hawaii Injury Lawyer can assists you to take care of all the requirements for you to know your rights and be able to be compensated for the damages and the attorney's fee are paid after they win the case.

Top Five Myths Bankruptcy - #1

As consumer debt has skyrocketed to over $3 Trillion, many believe the only way out from under the mountain of bills is to declare bankruptcy. But is it right for you? Many myths persist to misinform the public.

“Probably the worst myth about bankruptcy is that you need to be flat broke before you should file,” says Sacramento bankruptcy attorney Gerald B. Glazer. “It is not good to wait until creditors are knocking on your door,” according to Glazer. Planning can prepare you for a bankruptcy that causes the least amount of financial disruption.

Where to go in Bohol: Chocolate Hills

We went to Bohol last March 8-11, 2011 taking the Cebu Pacific flight to Cebu and then taking a ferry that would take us to Tagbilaran Port. It was a good day, I was worried weeks before we left since it was raining here in Manila but the weather is good in Cebu and Bohol. There were some rainfall at night but we were already indoors by then.

It is better to take a direct flight to Tagbilaran than taking the Cebu flight, we experienced a delayed in our flight so instead of boarding at 11am we boarded around 12pm. Imagine, we were with Kiara and we have to check in two hours early. If our flight is at 11am we should be there by 9am meaning we were already up by 6 or 7 and leave the house by 7:30 am. It took us the whole day of March 8 just for travelling. The journey was too tiring. After landing at Cebu, we have to rush to the Oceanjet Liner because we have to be on board the 3:30 pm schedule. It took us 30 minutes to reach the Cebu port from Mactan airport. Taxi fare costs 150 pesos.

The Oceanjet ticket costs 820 each for adults and free for children below 4 years old. This ticket is "libreng balik" so we used the ticket to go back to Cebu port.

Upon arriving at Tagbilaran, we were picked up by the hotel transfer of Le Pensionne de San Jose, located at San Jose, Tagbilaran City, this is cheaper compare to checking in at Panglao Island or Dauis or any beach area. This is your choice though.

The next day, our first stop was Chocolate Hills. It was a good sunny day, you better start early because it gets too hot in the afternoon, so we were picked up by our tour guide, Tatsky at 8am after eating our breakfast. We didn't know our hotel serves continental breakfast, we have baon pa na tasty bread, anyway we do not eat breakfast naman.

The travel to Chocolate Hills took at least 1 hour, it was a long ride, Tatsky is an experienced driver so we never had any problem and his vehicle is a blue Sportage, good for small groups like us. He is very informed and conversational, making small talks so the journey is not so boring.

The view at Chocolate Hills is breathtaking. The wind on your hair, your face, your skin and the bright blue sky makes you feel less depressed and less stressed. See our smiles?

I Like Scrubs

I often dreamed of working in the medical field and sometimes imagine myself as a doctor or a nurse. I imagine myself as a doctor wearing the white coat but then I would be engulfed by the robe and I think I will not look good in it. Next, I imagine myself wearing a "nursing scrub" that usual light blue shirt that is similar to the uniform of bus conductor and jeepney drivers. Still, I think I won't look good in it.

Then I found this site that sells uniform for nurses and I actually wish I could have one. Right now in our university, we are in the process of designing our uniform and the colors available in this site for the scrubs are light and fashionable. Though we are not in the lookout for scrubs, but I have never seen these type of scrubs before. Medical City, St. Luke's Hospital and other hospitals should consider this site to order from them.


The usual scrub that I see are prints of cartoon characters, this may look harmless to children but scrub top on this site convey a casual professional look. The scrubs are similar to the popular medical soap "Scrubs" or even the series "House".
