Were you a premie? Did your mother have previous pre-term deliveries with older siblings?
If you were a premie, how long were you in the hospital before being released?

Below students will find a list of questions to consider while writing each developmental period and a chart showing some of the theorists and the area of development in which they focused. Keep in mind that more than one theorist or theory may be applicable to a particular time period and the instructor requires students to apply at least three theories to each stage of life.
