Movie, good night is my sentence.

 

- Name: Jorge.

- Age: 6 years.

- Nationality: Brazilian.

 

1. Birth process.

* First minutes of life.

When a baby is born, the interaction with its mother begins, recognizing her from the moment of birth thanks to smell, since they recognize their mother by the smell of amniotic fluid and that they prefer to listen to her voice to any other sound.

 

In this case the baby enjoyed his first minutes of life with his mother in a satisfactory way.

 

* Psychomotor development.

Psychomotricity refers to the psychological implications of body movement in the relationship between the body and the environment in which it develops, these being related to the maturation of the brain, and some relational components, this is the relationship of the child with his environment , and for Jorge this process happened in a satisfactory way since his parents played lullaby music, they cared lovingly and took good care of them, his room was warm and bright, his crib comfortable.

 

* Intellectual development.

The rate of intellectual development in the baby is surprisingly high, he begins to perceive the world around him from the first moments of life, he relates to that world and increases his cognitive capacity and Jorge's parents spoke to him, sang to him, They ruined him, they showed him toys that helped him in his motor skills and in his senses like visual and touch.

 

This is the Stage of psychosocial development, described by Erick Erikson as Trust vs. Mistrust (0-18 months).

In the early stages of psychosocial development, children learn to trust or not trust others. Trust has a lot to do with attachment, relationship management, and the extent to which your child expects others to meet their needs. Because a baby is totally dependent, the development of trust is based on the trustworthiness and quality of the child's caregivers, especially with his mother.

 

Then we find the second Stage, called Autonomy Vs Shame and doubt that includes 18 months to 3 years of age.

Children acquire a certain degree of control over their body, which in turn makes their autonomy grow, by being able to complete tasks on their own successfully, they gain a sense of independence and autonomy. Thus, by allowing children to make decisions and gain control, parents and caregivers can help children develop a sense of autonomy.

 

At this point Jorge managed to develop a first and second stage successfully, feeling that he could trust his caregivers who were his parents, since they attended to his needs and were attentive to him at all times, creating an autonomy since he could carry out activities on his own successfully, such as crawling, walking, trying to eat alone, preparing for the third stage of psychosocial development.

 

The attachment developed by Jorge was Secure Attachment.

This type of attachment is characterized by unconditionality: the child knows that his caregiver is not going to fail him. You feel loved, accepted, and valued. According to Bowlby, this type of attachment depends largely on the caregiver's consistency in providing care and security. It must be a person who is attentive and concerned about communicating with the newborn, not only interested in meeting the needs of cleaning and feeding the baby. Of course, the downside is that this involves almost total surrender on the part of the caregiver, which can be difficult for some people.

 

2. Child physical and cognitive development.

Jorge's physical development was satisfactory since at this age he increased his ability to run, jump, make the first pitches and kick, as well as catch a bouncing ball.

- At 3 years old he was pedaling a tricycle, being able to handle it well at 4 years old.

- I drew, at Christmas I helped decorate the house with Christmas decorations.

- He played with his father that he was a soldier.

 

* Cognitive development.

- He liked school, memorizing, narrating and pointing out what he had to remember.

- Helped clean her room.

- He was a neat kid.

- But in this childhood stage he received a trauma since he began to realize that his birthday was not shared with his friends but that at home he felt that Christmas was a more special celebration than his birthday, since he was born on the day of Christmas.

 

In the third stage the Initiative Vs Culpa is developed, from 3 to 5 years.

Children begin to strengthen their power and control over the world through play, an invaluable framework for social interactions. When you achieve an ideal balance of individual initiative and the willingness to work with others, the ego quality known as purpose emerges; At this stage, Jorge was able to fully develop the initiative as he helped at home and was interested in topics that he shared with his parents.

 

In stage 4, the individual develops Industriousness Vs Inferiority, which ranges from 5 to 13 years of age.

Children begin to do more complicated tasks; on the other hand, their brain reaches a high degree of maturity, which allows them to begin to handle abstractions. They can also recognize your abilities as well as the abilities of your peers. In fact, children will often insist that they be given more challenging and demanding tasks; When they accomplish these tasks, they hope to earn associated recognition. It was at this stage in which Jorge through the maturity he acquired when he found that his birthday was not special for his friends because they did not share it with him and that all his cousins ??and other family members did not attend his house, because it was Christmas, developing the Inferiority and not Laboreosity.

 

3. Physical and cognitive development of the adolescent.

 

Adolescence is a time of intense transitions in the development of individuals; Being the time of transition between childhood and adulthood, notable changes in biological and cognitive processes are manifested. In addition, adolescence is a time that offers opportunities to grow and fully develop the physical, emotional and psychosocial areas; However, adolescence can also be a time of emotional and mental imbalance that can lead young people to form risky behaviors, these imbalances in behavior are usually the result of the immaturity of the adolescent's brain.

 

* Physical development.

Jorge experienced puberty in which many unknowns arose but these were answered by his parents, accepting himself physically as he was, in fact liking his physique as a teenager.

 

* Cognitive development.

Two types of brain networks develop in the adolescent brain: The social-emotional network that allows them to interact with their peers and other people, and the cognitive control network that allows them to progressively control their emotional impulses.

 

Adolescence is the stage of development where formal cognitive operations are manifested, this ability allows elaborate abstract thinking, hypothetical deductive reasoning, elaborating hypotheses and putting them to the test, and also the processing of information becomes more elaborate allowing the adolescent to deal with more complex problems or decisions.

 

Jorge was always an intelligent boy who had a cognitive development according to his age but always with the doubt that his friends could not be with him on his birthday, generating disturbances, but with his intelligence and control of his emotions he proposed to celebrate Christmas on a trip or doing flashy activities so that their friends won't spend Christmas with their families but on a trip doing activities like going to the beach, skiing, as an excuse to celebrate their birthday and no, good night.

 

The 5th stage is described as Identity vs. Identity Diffusion, going from 13 years to 21 years.

At this stage the individual finds his sexual identity and begins to design an image of that future person whom they want to resemble. As they grow up, they try to find their purposes and roles in society, as well as solidify their unique identity. At this stage, young people should also try to discern which activities are appropriate for their age and which are considered childish.

 

For Jorge the transition from this stage was fairly complete, because although it is true that he accepted his body, his heterosexuality, he loved his family, his school, he had friends and a sense of belonging and security in himself, but being overshadowed by the need for attention on his birthday since it was Christmas, creating plans for his friends to travel with him that day with the excuse of spending Christmas elsewhere but he was actually celebrating his birthday.

 

4. Paternity.

Fatherhood is a very important stage in human beings, although many do not like to experience it or take it lightly, it is very significant for both the father and the children, the father's behavior will determine the emotional and cognitive development of children to a great extent.

 

For Jorge, fatherhood developed well, he liked being a father, having a family, sharing moments with his children, just as he was a responsible father, but all this was overshadowed at Christmas, he did not like to go Christmas shopping, wrap The gifts of their children, sharing as a family even prohibited them from singing birthdays, also avoiding watching Christmas movies with their children.

 

In stage 6 Intimacy Vs Isolation was developed, going from 21 years to 39 years.

Teens grow into young adults. In the beginning, the confusion between identity and role is coming to an end. In young adults it is still often a high priority to respond to the wishes of the environment and in this way to fit in. However, it is also a stage in which certain red lines begin to be drawn autonomously: aspects that the person will not be willing to sacrifice to please someone.

 

This stage Jorge develops isolation, his trauma and bad experience in childhood with Christmas and his birthday led him to be a bad father and a bad husband only on Christmas day, isolating himself every year on this date, a Couple of years in a row this one took sleeping pills all day and waking up the next day of Christmas, to avoid this day.

 

5. Physical aging.

Physical aging for most people represents a trauma, they attend cosmetic surgeries for age-related wrinkles, they fall into depression or in some cases it is usually called the crisis of 40 and 50 years.

 

Stage represents number 7 in the development of the individual, in which Generativity Vs Stagnation develops, it ranges from 40 years to 65 years.

 

During adulthood, we continue to build our lives, focusing on our career and our family. Generativity means caring for people beyond their direct loved ones. As people enter the 'middle age' era of their lives, the scope of their vision extends from their direct environment, which includes themselves and their family, to a larger and more complete picture that encompasses the society and its legacy.

 

At this stage Jorge presented an age crisis, experiencing with his secretary a romance for which he divorced his wife, to live with his new partner, after months regretting because he realized that he loved his wife and his family, developing Generativity, realizing that his daughter suffered from breast cancer and died, but before that he realized that at Christmas he had been a bad father and a bad husband, which is why he saw Christmas movies with her daughter, who by now was an adult with a baby. Little by little overcoming his trauma of rejection towards Christmas and towards his Birthday.

 

6. Retirement and memory impairment.

At this stage of each person's life the most significant memories and the most memorable anecdotes in a person's life come to mind, it is where they value every moment of their lives, becoming wiser but it is also the stage where Most of the individuals experience partial or total loss of memory, in some cases they suffer from Alzheimer's disease.

 

Jorge realized at this stage that he enjoyed his grandson and his family at Christmas and at all times of the year, the death of his daughter helped him understand that they should always be united as a family regardless of the events, having the happiness of remembering his whole life, but forgetting only the Christmas days when he could not share with them because of sleep or the Christmas days when he was unhappy. His memory loss was only based on the removal of unpleasant Christmas memories.

 

Stage Eighth and last stage of the psychosocial development of Erick Ericson, explains to us the Integrity of the ego vs Despair, which begins at 65 years of age onwards.

 

In this last stage people can choose despair or integrity. Let's think that aging is to a large extent an accumulation of losses that demand compensation. On the other hand, there is a feeling that more time has been left behind than is ahead.

 

From this look at the past, despair and nostalgia can be born in the form of fog or, on the contrary, the feeling that the traces left, what was shared and what was achieved, has been worth it. One look or another will somehow mark what the person expects from the future and the present.

 

In Jorge's case, he understood the importance of family at Christmas and celebrating his birthday regardless of the holiday, developing integrity.
