Based on Freud's stages of development, EJ tells the new father that the first stage his child will pass through is called the _____ stage.

Answer 1

Answer:

Oral Stage.

Explanation:

The Oral Stage is the first stage of the Freud's theory of Psycho-sexual Stages of Development.

The Psycho-sexual Stages of development was the theory that was developed by the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. According to this developmental theory, a child's personality is developed through pleasure-seeking energies of an erogenous area.

The Oral Stage, according to the theory, ranges between the age from birth to 1 year. In this stage, the erogenous area is a mouth. In this stage, an infant seeks pleasure from oral stimulation such as sucking, rooting and eating.

So, the correct answer to the question, that is, the first stage that a child passes through is the oral stage.
