What is the main goal during the latency stage?

To develop morality
To explore the world around them
To develop relationships
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.
