  2. Ego
    Second part of the Freudian personality, our ego develops between age 2 and 3. The ego operates on the reality principle to get the demands of our id met. This means that the ego tries to broker a socially acceptable solution to get the individual what his or her id demanded in the first place. My daughter Toni, aged 12, if she sees something she wants in the shops, will no longer go on and on and on about it. This dramatically increases the probability of never getting it! Instead she will set up a series of jobs that her mum, nana, aunt, big sister and me will pay her to do for us! She then goes and buys what she wants. That is her ego, formed by her past experiences of reality, brokering a compromise solution to get her id demands met. Lots of them!
