development. The key event at this stage according to Freud is the child‘s feeling
of attraction towards the parent of the opposite sex together with envy and fear of
the same sex parent. In boys this situation is called the oedipus complex named
after the young man in a Greek myth who killed his father and married his mother
unaware of their true identities. Boys in the midst of oedipus complex often
experience intense ―castration anxiety‖, which come from the fear of punishment
from the father for their desire for the mothers. In the process of identifying with
his father, the boy not only takes on his father‘s behavior patterns but also his
father‘s ideas of right and wrong. Thus, it is rough identification in the phallic
In girls this type of attraction is called the Electra complex after Agamemnon‘s
daughter, who arranged for her mother to be murdered. For the girl, the sequence
begins with an erotic focus on the father. But, in addition, the girl notices that she
does not have the sexual organs of her father or brothers and she experiences
―penis envy.‖ She suspects that she may actually have been castrated by her
mother; this makes her angry, and she comes to resent and devalue her mother.
Nonetheless, she eventually identifies with her mother partly because she knows
if she takes on her mother‘s characteristics she will stand a better chance in her
own ―romantic relationship‖ with her father. Thus, in spite of her affection for her
father and her resentment of her mother, the little girl identifies with her mother,

sexual interest and desire and the pursuit of relationships. There are three major
sources of sexual arousal during this period: memories and sensations from earlier
and hormonal secretions. Many of the themes and anxieties of earlier stages
resurface, but in new and more mature forms. In particular, the targets of sexual
arousal now lie outside the tiny circle of self and family. Mature heterosexual
relations emerge, with the species preserving possibility of procreation now very

Positive outcome: If their needs are met consistently and responsively by the
parents, infants not only will develop a secure attachment with the parents but
in the child. So, if necessary to provide dental treatment at this early age, it is
preferable to do with the parent present and preferably with parent holding the
child.

Positive outcome: If parents encourage their child‘s use of initiative and reassure
him when he makes mistakes, the child will develop the confidence needed to
cope with future situations that require choice, control and independence. The
parents should not discourage the child, but neither should they push. A balance is
required. People often advise new parents to be ―firm but tolerant‖ at this stage.
This way, the child will develop both self-control and self-esteem.

things, use tools and acquire the skills to be a worker and a potential provider and

Negative outcome: If not the adolescent will sink into confusion unable to make
decisions and choices especially about vocation, sexual orientation and his role in

As the child moves into this stage typically after a year or so of preschool and
first grade activity, an improved ability to reason emerges. He can use a limited
number of logical processes especially those involving object that can be handled
or manipulated.
The child is able to decentre, i.e. focus attention on more than one attribute at the

These are basic needs, such as food and water along with air, sleep, clothing, etc.
and must be satisfied before other needs. If they are not fulfilled, people will
direct all their energy and resources towards satisfying them. Biological

Both physical and psychological safety is necessary to meet these needs. These
are protection, stability, pain avoidance, etc. Maslow believed that children need
safety more than adults when they feel afraid. Safety needs are mostly
psychological in nature which can be safety and security of a home and family.
These needs are also termed as social needs that include affection, acceptance and
inclusion in integrated groups, the need for affection from parents, peers and other
loved ones. This is to give and receive love, and also for a feeling of belonging.
This includes self-respect and self-esteem which are the needs to be respected; to
addition esteem needs include the desire to be acknowledged and appreciated for
their achievements.
