Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that Freud's psychosexual stages describe different focuses of a child's development at various ages.
Identify the latency period as the stage occurring roughly between ages 6 to puberty, where sexual impulses are less active.
Recall that during the latency period, Freud proposed that children focus on developing skills and relationships outside of the family, such as social and intellectual abilities.
Recognize that establishing intimate romantic relationships is more characteristic of the genital stage, which follows latency.
Note that gratification of oral desires relates to the oral stage, and resolving the Oedipus complex occurs during the phallic stage, both preceding latency.
