CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Based on his theory, the Oedipus complex plays a significant role in the phallic stage, which happens between approximately 3 and 6 years of age. In this stage, the child’s libido is focused on the genitalia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Freud attributed the Oedipus complex to children of about the ages three to five. He said the stage usually ended when the child identified with the parent of the same sex and repressed its sexual instincts.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Oedipal complex occurs in the phallic stage of psychosexual development between the ages of three and five. The phallic stage serves as an important point in forming sexual identity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Freud used the term “Oedipus complex” to describe a child’s desire for their opposite-sex parent and feelings of envy, jealousy, resentment, and competition with the same-sex parent. It’s important to note that there’s very little evidence that the Oedipus (or Electra) complex is real.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Oedipus complex is a Freudian term that was named after a man that unknowingly killed his father and slept with his mother. Freud said that a boy develops an unconscious infatuation towards his mother, and simultaneously fears his father to be a rival. This happens at an unconscious level.
