What is the main goal during the latency stage?

  1. To develop morality

  2. To explore the world around them

  3. To develop relationships

  4. To master basic skills

The correct answer is: To master basic skills

During the latency stage, which occurs between the ages of 6 and 12 years old, the main goal is to develop basic skills such as reading, writing, and social interactions. This is a time when children focus on developing their competence and confidence in these skills. Option A is incorrect because the development of morality primarily occurs during the previous stage, the phallic stage. Option B is also incorrect because exploration is a primary goal during the early childhood stage. Option C is incorrect because the development of relationships is more prominent during the later stages of adolescence. Therefore, option D is the most accurate and appropriate answer.
