(.”) ELIJAH…
E- Elijah Keith…a name so common yet so
unique…Chosen by a special mommy and daddy…An angel sent by the heaven above…Who touches our hearts with so much
pride…
L- Little angel, you’ve grown so fast…It seems like yesterday when you first developed trust…From birth to one year, you were a baby…You enjoyed solitary play and developed your oral passive and oral aggressive side…
I- Infant Elijah became a toddler…Developed autonomy and not shame nor doubt…From 1-3 years old, it was merely parallel play…Temper tantrums were always there…
J- Just imagine in a short span of time
you developed initiative, setting aside guilt…Our toddler Elijah is now a preschooler enjoying associative play…From 3-6 years old, there were lots of new developments…Magical and animistic thinking, ego development and a phallic sense…
A- And now he’s halfway through the
school-age stage…Moral realism now predominates…Autonomous morality develops…Enjoys cooperative play and has increased self direction,enhancing industry bypassing
inferiority…
H- How time really flies, it seems like
a snap…And yet there is inevitable rapid growth and development…Soon he will develop identity, intimacy, generativity and ego-integrity…Surpassing role confusion, isolation,
stagnation and despair…
