Freud did a large study on how children feel and react to certain things as they are growing up. First, Freud believed that children have sexual tendencies as they grow up. Then, he felt that the child would learn to be infatuated with the parent that was the opposite sex from them. For example, if the child was a boy. The boy would start to become very jealous of the father as time went on. Same thing goes for a girl. In Freud's five theories, we will take a look at how each of them explains his beliefs on what children go threw as they are growing up.
The first stage was the Oral phase. The Oral phase begins at birth and lasts for about eight month's. During those eight month's, the child will experience needs to suck, bite and swallow. These things will need to be done in order to control a child's sexual needs. However, the most obvious oral stage is the eating stage. When a child eats, it is manipulating many parts of the mouth.
This manipulation was said to be the activities of fulfilling a child's sexual urges according to Freud.
Each time a child goes and takes a bit of something or swallows
something, Freud believes that it is all a part of controlling the child's sexual needs.
