The second defense mechanism is , by which the child incorporates, to his or her ego, the personality characteristics of the same-sex parent; in so adapting, the boy diminishes his , because his likeness to father protects him from father's wrath as a rival for mother; by so adapting, the girl facilitates identifying with mother, who understands that, in being females, neither of them possesses a penis, and thus they are not antagonists. They will be unsure of their identity and confused about the future. Identification means internally adopting the values, attitudes, and behaviors of another person. Role Confusion In adolescence ages 12—18 , children face the task of identity vs.
By the end of this stage, infants are beginning to understand some language. By developing a sense of trust, the infant can have hope that as new crises arise, there is a real possibility that other people will be there as a source of support. Freud viewed development as discontinuous; he believed that each of us must pass through a series of stages during childhood, and that if we lack proper nurturing and parenting during a stage, we may become stuck in, or fixated on, that stage. In other words, infants develop attachment to their caregivers—upon whom they are dependent—as a means of survival. Because post-conventional individuals elevate their own moral evaluation of a situation over social conventions, their behavior, especially at stage six, can sometimes be confused with that of those at the pre-conventional level.
Again, a balance between competence and modesty is necessary. Role confusion involves the individual not being sure about themselves or their place in society. Irrationally, the boy thinks that if his father were to find out about all this, his father would take away what he loves the most. Moral reasoning in stage four is beyond the need for individual approval exhibited in stage three. Combinatory Speech Before a toddler's second birthday, the child enters the combinatory speech phase of oral development.
However, typically developing children begin to replace oral mouthing behaviors as they develop the gross and fine motor skills necessary to explore and the coping skills to self-soothe. Teens in the genital stage of development are able to balance their most basic urges against the need to conform to the demands of reality and social norms. The child is developing physically and becoming more mobile, and discovering that he or she has many skills and abilities, such as putting on clothes and shoes, playing with toys, etc. Upon discovering this, he pokes his eyes out and becomes blind. In postformal thinking, decisions are made based on situations and circumstances, and logic is integrated with emotion as adults develop principles that depend on contexts.
They are not easily calmed by the caregiver or the stranger, and they feel anxiety with the caregiver due to inconsistent attachment patterns. According to psychosocial theory, we experience eight stages of development over our lifespan, from infancy through late adulthood. Each of these six stages has an impact on how our personalities develop and can be a way of explaining how we think and behave as adults. In terms of personality, after effects of an anal fixation during this stage can result in an obsession with cleanliness, perfection, and control anal retentive. Children with more resolved psychosexual development have greater capacity to develop normal relationships with opposite sex, whereas a fixation at this stage results into the child being frigid and impotent in later life, while also having unsatisfactory interpersonal relationships.
Sexual urges remain repressed as children become more independent of their parents and learn, through developing peer relationships, to interact with other people and respond to their needs. The first can be a person with an oral retentive personality, which is characterized by stinginess, excessive tidiness, perfectionism, and stubbornness. There is only one goal of achievement, although not everyone achieves it.

They must try not to do everything for the child, but if the child fails at a particular task they must not criticize the child for failures and accidents particularly when toilet training.
An erogenous zone is characterized as an area of the body that is particularly sensitive to stimulation. In contrast, children struggle with deductive reasoning, which involves using a generalized principle in order to try to predict the outcome of an event. For example, children can now understand that a parent returns home from work at a certain time each day, so separation anxiety lessens—although the child may do things to gain extra time with the parent prior to departure or to keep the parent from leaving. According to Freud, children at this stage suppress their sexual energy and direct it towards asexual pursuits, such as, school, athletics, hobbies, social relationships, friendships with same-sex, etc. During the five psychosexual stages, which are the oral, anal, phallic, latent and genital stages, the erogenous zone associated with each stage serves as a source of pleasure.
How children explore and experiment their sexuality at this stage defines their adult behavior. Prenatal Pregnancy is a time of anticipation, excitement, preparation, and, for many new parents, uncertainty. The pediatrician proposed that breast feeding a child until he or she chooses to c. If the care the infant receives is consistent, predictable and reliable, they will develop a sense of trust which will carry with them to other relationships, and they will be able to feel secure even when threatened.

The first two children are confronted with a classic conservation task concerning liquid volumes. If an individual a strict anal stage and had a tough toilet training, Freud said that individual was more likely to be obsessively neat in adulthood. By the age of 18 months a child usually has a vocabulary of 50 to 150 words. The first defense mechanism is , the blocking of memories, emotional impulses, and ideas from the conscious mind; yet it does not resolve the Id—Ego conflict. Interested in his mirror image.
