Understand the context of Freud's psychosexual stages of development, which include the oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital stages.
Recognize that the latency stage occurs approximately between the ages of 6 and puberty, following the phallic stage.
Identify that during the latency stage, Freud believed that sexual impulses are repressed, allowing children to focus on other areas of development.
Acknowledge that in this stage, children are thought to develop intellectually, physically, and socially, as they engage in learning and building relationships outside the family.
Note that the latency stage is characterized by the development of skills and knowledge, as well as the formation of friendships, rather than focusing on sexual desires.
