An individual's personality structure is largely determined by the experiences between the ages of 0-6 and the family's approach. The structure that is being completed during this period may undergo permanent changes again with the hormonal and structural changes during adolescence. The psychosexual developmental periods of the child between the ages of 0-6 are divided into 3: oral, anal and phallic periods:
ORAL PERIOD:
• It is the period until the average age of 1.5.
• It is the period when pleasure is taken with the mouth. The child sucks the breast for 3-4 minutes and the remaining 10-15 minutes. He gets emotions from his mother. Here, saying 'the child is no longer breastfeeding, he is full' and pulling the breast creates an emotional trauma for the child.
• It is a period when basic trust with the mother is established and the baby's needs must be met satisfactorily.
• People who have experienced obsession during this period generally deal a lot with oral issues; He chews a lot of gum, smokes and drinks alcohol frequently, and bites his nails.
ANAL PERIOD:
• It is the period between approximately 1.5-3 years of age.
• It is the period when the ability to release and retain feces is acquired. With this gain, the child sees that he can activate a behavior with his own will, gains autonomy from the mother and begins to take steps towards individualization.
• The child sees the feces coming out of himself as something very valuable. He doesn't want to give it away. Too much pressure while toilet training; This creates conflict in the child and the child may become stingy, stubborn or a collector in the future. Rarely, it is the opposite and is very wasteful.
PHALLIC PERIOD:
• It is the period when sexual identity is formed between the ages of 3-6.
• During this period, the child begins to establish three-way relationships. While there was only him and his mother in the first 3 years of age, he now started to become aware of his father.
• At this stage, as sexual urges begin to be felt, the boy has a sexual orientation towards the mother, and the girl has a sexual orientation towards the father. However, the child sees his mother or father as his rival and enters into conflict with him.
