I read somewhere that Freud called the ages starting around five or six to puberty the latency period. I’m sure I wouldn’t agree with his psycho-sexual analysis of this stage , but I like the idea that there is something easier about this time.During this middle age of childhood, kids are not dueling with any huge developmental or hormonal monsters.
