A
Known as the latency psychosexual stage, the major conflicts during this period center around identifying with the same-sex parent, learning and testing mental and physical capabilities, and comparing one's capabilities with peer norms. The Oedipus and Electra complexes occur during Freud's phallic stage (3 to 6 years of age). Development of self-assurance and self-esteem is one of the principal developmental tasks according to Erikson's industry versus inferiority stage (6 to 12 years of age). At this stage, school-age children increasingly reduce their dependency on the family and move to the broader world of peers. They establish meaningful relationships with peers and strive to be a part of a peer group.
