I agree. Whatever the child experiences
is normal for him/her; but that does not
necessarily mean it's pleasant or painful
or not. In a sense Freud understood that
all animals have certain needs and drives.
He just got carried away with the symbolic
aspect of these needs.Piaget or Maslow, are probably closer to the practical
aspects of these needs. When they are not met, frustration
is unavoidable and adaptive or maladaptive
techniques are learned or invented by the child.I'm not likely to talk about my childhood here.
I'd rather discuss this in general terms,
academically. I just have too convoluted
a background, if that's ok with you.Squiggles
