During our 18th year we begin our second cycle in this spiral of development. We then continue to re-visit these stages through the rest of our lives. You can, for instance, work out what stage you are currently at by dividing your age by 19 and comparing the remainder to the age and related stages of development described above. For example, if you were 43, this is how you would work out which stage you were currently recycling; 43 divided by 19 = 2 remainder 5. Five years puts you at the end of the identity stage and about to start the skills stage.

4. Cycles of development
Stage 7
• Stage : Recycling.
• Duration : Rest of our lives.
• Activity - During our 18th year we begin our
second cycle in this spiral of development.
We then continue to re-visit these stages
through the rest of our lives. You can, for
instance, work out what stage you are
currently at by dividing your age by 19 and
comparing the remainder to the age and
related stages of development described
above. For example, if you were 43, this is
how you would work out which stage you
were currently recycling; 43 divided by 19 =
2 remainder 5. Five years puts you at the end
of the identity stage and about to start the
skills stage.
