CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -According to Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality, the superego is the component of personality composed of the internalized ideals that we have acquired from our parents and society. The superego works to suppress the urges of the id and tries to make the ego behave morally, rather than realistically.

Detailed explanation-2: -The superego develops during the first five years of life in response to parental punishment and approval. This development occurs as a result of the child’s internalization of his parents’ moral standards, a process greatly aided by a tendency to identify with the parents.

Detailed explanation-3: -The superego incorporates the values and morals of society which are learned from one’s parents and others.

Detailed explanation-4: -The id provides the drives for behavior, the superego strives for moral perfection, and the ego works to strike a balance between those two needs and the demands of reality. A healthy, well-functioning personality is all about striking a need between the id, ego, and superego.

Detailed explanation-5: -It’s the conflict between basic desires (the id), morality and being a good person (the superego) and consciousness (the ego.)
