According to Freud's psychodynamic theory, the phallic stage (ages 3-6) is a critical period for the development of the Oedipus or Electra complex, where the child's focus of pleasure shifts to the genitals and they develop feelings for the opposite-sex parent and view the same-sex parent as a rival. If this stage is not resolved successfully, it can lead to difficulties in relationship formation and maintenance, particularly with authority figures.
