From birth to 18 months, the baby is in the trust versus mistrust stage, according to Erikson, and requires consistent, affectionate care. Children from age 3 to 6 years are in the initiative versus guilt stage and are likely to try new activities and ask many questions. They require guidance but should not be labeled "bad" when they do things that are inadvertently destructive. From age 6 to 12 years, children are in the industry versus inferiority stage, when they seek to make progress with social skills and self-esteem.

The student who will not copy her papers from the Internet is in stage 5, social rules and legal orientation, when one's inner moral compass becomes more important than external authority figures or laws.

Younger children, age 7 to 12 years, relate strongly to symbolism and stories to explain religion. Starting at about age 18 and continuing into young adulthood, people tend to be in the individuating-reflexive stage, when they develop their own beliefs. At around age 30, many people enter the paradoxical-consolidative stage, comprehending others' views about faith and becoming more interested in what is true than in what is believed.
