Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Danielle's behavior suggests that she is in the phallic stage, which occurs between 3-6 years of age. During this stage, children become attached to the parent of the opposite sex and become confrontational with the same-sex parent in order to gain their attention. This is known as the Oedipus or Electra complex, depending on the child's gender. The oral and anal stages occur earlier in life, while the latency stage occurs after the phallic stage.
