Childhood Development Stages
- Neonate: From 28 days of life.
- Infant: 1 month to 1 year.
- Toddler: 1 to 3 years.
- Preschooler: 3 to 5 years.
- School-age: 6 to 12 years.

Components of Freud’s Theory
-
Levels of Awareness:
- Conscious: Logical thinking, immediate awareness.
- Preconscious (Subconscious): Repressed thoughts easily recalled.
- Unconscious: Contains repressed feelings, inaccessible thoughts causing anxiety.
-
Agencies of the Mind:
- Id: Operates on the pleasure principle; impulsive and irrational.
- Ego: Balances id and reality, develops from 4-5 months; reality testing and problem-solving.
- Superego: Incorporates moral standards from parental interactions, develops during phallic stage.
Anxiety and Defense Mechanisms
- Ego employs defense mechanisms unconsciously to protect against anxiety, potentially hindering personal growth if extreme.
Psychosexual Stages of Development
- Oral (Infant): Exploration through mouth; nursing care important.
- Anal (Toddler): Control over elimination; success in toilet training is vital.
- Phallic (Preschooler): Identification with same-sex parent; exploration of genitalia.
- Latency (School-age): Sexual feelings are dormant; focus on skill development.
- Genital (Adolescent): Reawakening of sexual urges; establishment of mature relationships.
