The Child and Adolescent Learners and Learning Principles

Directions: Provide the necessary information in the space provided.

1. Describe Freud’s family background. Describe the composition of his family. What do you think was it
like for Freud growing up in this family?

Before Freud’s mother married his father, his father had two children already. After Freud was born,
Sigmund's family lived in the city's Leopoldstadt slum, which had a large concentration of Jewish
inhabitants. The boy was raised in an unconventional familial setup, with stepbrothers and nephews
serving as his first playmates. The living quarters were small, and they had to travel frequently,
occasionally staying with his father's family. Sigmund's family had grown by his eleventh year, and he
now had five sisters and one brother.
It's exhausting to be a part of that kind of family. There are far too many to meet the needs of
every member of the family. However, Freud demonstrated that it is not a barrier to succession.
He excelled in Greek and Latin studies, mathematics, history, and natural sciences. He passed his
final exam with flying colors, gaining admission to the University of Vienna at the tender age of
seventeen. His family had noticed his exceptional intellectual abilities from the start, and despite
the fact that they only had four bedrooms for eight people, Sigmund had his own room throughout
his school years. As was customary at the period, he stayed with his parents until he was twenty-
seven.

2. Enumerate and discuss Freud’s stages of Psychosexual Development.

Sucking, biting, and breastfeeding are common in the oral stage or mouth-related sexual
experiences for babies.
The libido becomes concentrated on the anus during the anal stage of psychosexual development,
and pleasure is acquired from defecating.
The phallic stage, which lasts from three to six years, is the third stage of psychosexual
development. When a youngster becomes aware of anatomical sex differences, a conflict between
erotic desire, resentment, competition, jealousy, and terror ensues. It was dubbed the Oedipus
complex in boys and the Electra complex in girls by Sigmund Freud. Conflict arises in the young
child because the boy develops sexual (pleasurable) cravings for his mother. He wants to have sole
possession of his mother and needs to get rid of his father to accomplish it. The Oedipus complex is
the most crucial feature of the phallic stage. For females, the Electra complex is unsatisfactory. In
essence, the girl wants her father but learns that she doesn't have a penis. Penis envy and the desire
to be a male result from this.
Most sexual desires, according to Freud, are repressed during the latent period, and sexual energy
 can be channeled toward schoolwork, hobbies, and friendships. The libido is dormant at this stage,
and no further psychosexual development occurs (latent means hidden).
The third phase in Freud's psychosexual theory of personality development is the genital stage,
which starts during puberty. It is a time of adolescent sexual experimentation, which is successfully
resolved when we find a loving, one-on-one partner in our twenties.

3. Enumerate and discuss Freud’s Personality Components

Human personality, as per Freud, is multifaceted and contains more than one component. These
factors interact to produce complex human behavior. Freud's classic psychoanalytic theory claims
that personality is made up of three parts: the id, the ego, and the superego.
The id, which seeks instant fulfillment of all desires, wants, and needs, rules over infants. An
increase in hunger or thirst, for example, should prompt an immediate attempt to eat or drink. Early
in life, the id is critical since it ensures that an infant's wants are addressed.
The ego is the part of your personality that keeps you grounded in reality and keeps the id and
superego from pulling you too far toward your most primal desires or moralistic virtues. The ego
operates on the reality principle, attempting to satisfy the id's desires in realistic and socially
acceptable ways.
The conscious, preconscious, and unconscious all contain the superego. It suppresses all of the
unwanted id's inclinations and strives to make the ego behave on idealistic ideas rather than actual
ones. The rules and standards for behaviors that the ego aspires to are included in the ego ideal.
