According to Freud's psychosexual stages, the anal stage occurs from ages 1-3, during which children experience pleasure and fixation on the sensations associated with bowel movements. If a child experiences excessive control or pressure during toilet training, they may develop an anal-retentive personality, characterized by excessive neatness and fussiness. Thus, fixation during the anal stage can manifest in an overly tidy and orderly adult personality.
