Generativity vs. Stagnation
Stage seven happens in middle adulthood (40’s to 60’s) and is classified as generativity vs. stagnation. In this stage most people create families and develop wonderful relationships. Many people in this stage already have children, have a wonderful job, and give back to the community. By raising children and being part of organizations, people will feel successful in this stage. If you fail to meet the norms of this stage you will feel unproductive and like something is missing in your life.
In stage seven I will have had children and living in a nice house in the suburbs of some western state. Hopefully I will own my own marketing/advertising firm and will come home to cook dinner for my wonderful family. I would love to be part of organizations that benefit the community, attend church frequently, and attend parent meetings. At the end of the day I will snuggle up next to my nice husband and dogs.
