Option 4 : 2-3years

Explanation:-

  • Sigmund Freud’s psychosexual theory states that children undergo 5 stages of psychosexual development in which they get satisfaction from different parts of the body.
  • These stages involve different actions that involve a few erogenous zones (areas) that can be any part of the body that is involved in the process of pleasure.
  • According to him, completing one stage and successfully passing to another stage develop a healthy personality of a child as an adult. However, failure to complete one stage or being stuck to one stage will lead to impersonality as an adult.

The five stages of psychosexual development are:

  1. Oral stage (0 to 1-year-old): - A child gets pleasure from oral activities such as the breast sucking of a mother. Completion of oral satisfaction will lead to developing a sense of trust whereas unsatisfaction or over satisfaction may lead to the oral fixation which is an addiction to smoking or nail-biting once a child becomes an adult.
  2. Anal stage (2 to 3 years old): - A child gets gratification from the ability to control bowel and bladder movements. In this stage, a child learns toilet training that allows a child to control his or her elimination. Early and harsh toilet training turns a child into obsessive, punctual, and sometimes stubborn to their possessions whereas liberal toilet training can make a child messy, disorganized, and rebellious as an adult.
  3. Phallic stage (3 to 6 years): - A child starts understanding the opposite sex and develops an attraction toward their opposite-sex parents. A boy child is more attached to his mother which is known as the OEDIPUS CONFLICT and a girl child is attached to her father called Electra conflict. Failure to this stage may lead to a weak sexual identity.
  4. Latency stage (6 years to puberty): - In this stage, sexual desires are usually suppressed. Children are mostly involved with same-sex friends, learning new skills, and engaging in playing activities.
  5. Genital stage (puberty onwards): - It is the last stage where, an individual sexual desire starts towards an opposite-sex friend, not like a phallic stage. The erogenous zone is the genitals.
