Id, Ego, Superego

An example of the id is immediate gratification of desires without considering consequences. The ego balances the id's desires with reality and societal norms. The superego represents internalized moral standards and ideals learned from caregivers and society.

In Freudian theory, the ego is to reality and rationality as the id is to unconscious and instinctual drives.

Id is always there! Its innate and can only be controlled through the 'Ego' balancing out the 'Id' and the 'Super Ego'. So to answer the question directly: Yes, a child has an 'Id' already! It is only through our morals i.e 'Super Ego' that we learn to control the 'Id'.

The Psychological answer is two things. You're ID and EGO. Your ID is what you are, your existence, if you like. Your EGO is what you think you are.

We are all made up of our experience and upbringing (ID) and also our self perception (EGO).
