Detailed Explanation
Freud's Latency Stage
According to Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, the latency stage extends from approximately age 6 to puberty.
- Dormancy of Libido: During this period, sexual energy (libido) is temporarily dormant or suppressed.

This phase represents a period of calm between the earlier dynamic stages and the turbulent hormonal changes of puberty.
