CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The superego develops primarily from parental instructions and rules, and encourages the individual to rise above his or her base instincts and drives. It works in direct counterbalance to the id. Freud believed that the superego is formed during the Oedipus complex after a boy learns to identify with his father.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, the id is the primitive and instinctual part of the mind that contains sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories, the super-ego operates as a moral conscience, and the ego is the realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.

Detailed explanation-3: -Freud’s psychosexual theory states five stages of human development: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital. These psychosexual stages capture the main growth points of a person from infancy to adulthood and focus on different facets of wants, needs, and desires.

Detailed explanation-4: -The primary action of the superego is to suppress entirely any urges or desires of the id that are considered wrong or socially unacceptable. It also tries to force the ego to act morally rather than realistically. Finally, the superego strives for moral perfections, without taking reality into account.
