Generativity versus stagnation is the challenge of middle adulthood. The tasks of generativity occur when middle adults decide to pass on learning and share skills with younger generations, such as how the client balances the needs of others. Selection of a life pattern is the developmental task for young adults. Reviewing one's life course is the task of older adults. Adolescents establish a sense of self.
