Question 2

Mitzi is very worried about her daughter, Maya, because the bottle that she gave her had formula that was a little too hot and Maya cried when she first drank some of it. She fears that even at her early age Maya will now be afraid of her mother, and that this mistake will have detrimental consequences on Maya's development. Based on Erikson's theory, what would you say to Mitzi?
 
  a. Children at this age cannot associate such an experience with the person who caused it, so you're in the clear.
  b. The child is now unlikely to develop a basic sense of trust in you, but you will be able to overcome that in the next stages of psychosocial development.
  c. A child can actually benefit from some of these experiences, because it helps them develop hope.
 d. You should now switch to nursing instead of bottle feeding so that this mistake does not happen again.
