According to Freud,without satisfaction in each developmental stage, certain drives will bounce around inside of a person until satiated. Thus, the energy becomes a constant itch to be scratched. In order to prevent oral obsessions, according to Freud the nature of oral drives must be satisfied at infancy. So on and so forth. How fascinating that a lack of oral satisfaction in infancy may contribute to nail biting, obesity, smoking, etc. which in turn could lead to the spread of disease, worms, or overly explicit behaviors. New parents or care-givers should allow their new child to nurse (or carry out the act of nursing) until they are ready to move forward (cease on their own) because a disturbance in the nature of weening could prove orally deter-mental down the line, i.e. nail biting, oral fixations, etc.
As for Montessori, the very nature of the child is what is being encouraged in an almost implicit and voyeuristic way. With this concept the child will become all they are to be- naturally. What becomes of them as adults, though? Montessori's view that children are simply different thinkers than adults and find their own satisfactions in their own ways may lead to obsession. Perhaps Freud would argue that lack of satisfaction begets obsession. One way to ensure progress to the next normalization phase would be to have the children repeat older subjects later in life because then the accuracy at which they accomplish certain subjects could be ranked...not really a test, right?
Basically the more you know the better off your kids will adjust. Hopefully. In turn, Utopian society. Beginning in grade school, future new parents and care-givers should know about the varying stages of infancy throughout adolescence in a comprehensive way, say a chart with the top theories and tested models, so they better the chances our species has of coexistent survival.
