Lily is four years old. The staff at the nursery are worried that she is insecure. She follows them around and gets upset if one of them is off. She is very anxious if her mother is late picking her up. Use Erikson’s theory to explain why Lily might be behaving this way.
Lily developed a sense of mistrust when she was between the age of 0 – 18 Months when her caregivers did not provide reliability, care, and affection.
