Stages of Life

Introduction

We all go through life stages, but many of us don’t realize it. There are four primary stages of life: infancy, adolescence, adulthood and retirement. The stage you’re in at any given time will determine how you experience the others.

Infancy

As an infant, you are unable to move on your own. You have no control over your body, and must be carried around constantly by someone. Your speech may be limited at best as well.

In addition to being unable to move or speak independently, infants must also feed themselves (through bottle feeding), use the bathroom alone (toilet training) and dress themselves (diapers). Because of this lack of independence and inability for infants to act like adults in other ways such as dressing themselves or performing tasks independently from others around them, it is often assumed that babies require constant attention from caregivers throughout their lives until they reach adolescence when they stop needing constant help from parents/caretakers

Adolescence

The teen years are a time of rapid physical, emotional and intellectual growth. Teens are more likely to engage in risky behavior than adults, and they may be more susceptible to peer pressure. Teenagers may also suffer from depression and other mental health problems as they grow into adulthood.

Teenagers are more likely than adults to become involved in risky behaviors such as drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and using drugs. Research has shown that teenagers who engage in risky behavior are more likely than other teens to experience depression and other mental health problems.

Adulthood

You’ve made it. You’re finally an adult. As a matter of fact, you’re the only one in your family or circle of friends who is still living at home with Mom and Dad. Now that everyone else has moved out, it’s up to you to keep the house from falling apart while also making sure all your bills get paid on time and making sure to enjoy yourself without getting into trouble (or worse).

Here are some things I recommend:

• Be a good role model! Your children look up to you as an example of what being an adult means; if they see how hardworking, dependable and responsible adults are supposed to be then they’ll want similar qualities themselves when they grow up too–and hopefully follow through on those expectations instead of wasting time playing video games all day long like some kids do nowadays…

Retirement

Retirement is a time to relax, enjoy life and pursue your interests. There are many opportunities for retirees to travel, volunteer or just spend time with family.

Once you’ve retired, you can use that extra money to pursue hobbies or interests that may be outside of work. For example:

• You might want to learn how to play guitar or piano in order to keep up with your friends who still work full-time jobs.

• You could take up painting as a hobby so that when the kids come home from college for summer break (and ask if they can borrow their parents’ car), there’s something fun on display instead of empty walls!

Takeaway:

Life is a journey, not a destination. You can’t take it with you when you die. The stages of life are all important, but they’re not the only ones that give meaning to your existence.
