Question 1

How is the superego developed in a child in the locomotor-genital stage according to Erikson?

Accepted Answer

Truehe locomotor-genital stage,which occurs between ages 3 and 5,is similar to the phallic stage in Freud's system.Motor and mental abilities are continuing to develop,and children can accomplish more on their own.
 One initiative that may develop is in the form of fantasies,manifested in the desire to possess the parent of the opposite sex and establish a rivalry with the parent of the same sex.How will the parents react to these self-initiated activities and fantasies? If they punish the child and otherwise inhibit these displays of initiative,the child will develop persistent guilt feelings that will affect self-directed activities throughout the person's life.
 In the Oedipal relationship,the child inevitably fails,but if the parents guide this situation with love and understanding,then the child will acquire an awareness of what is permissible behavior and what is not.The child's initiative can be channeled toward realistic and socially sanctioned goals in preparation for the development of adult responsibility and morality.In Freudian terms,we would call this the superego.
 The basic strength called purpose arises from initiative.Purpose involves the courage to envision and pursue goals.
