The latency stage of development, according to Freudian psychosexual development theory, is characterized as a period of relative calm and stability in psychosexual development, occurring after the phallic stage and before the onset of puberty. This stage is not marked by the same level of psychosexual conflict and exploration as other stages, hence it is described as "quiescent."
