The anal stage in Freud's theory of psychosexual development occurs during the second year of life and is characterized by focus on bowel movements and toilet training. Similarly, Erikson's stage of early childhood (ages 2-3) focuses on the development of autonomy and control over one's own body functions, such as learning to use the toilet independently.
