The answer is latency.

The oral stage is the first stage in Freud's psychosexual development theory, occurring from birth to approximately 18 months. During this stage, pleasure centers on the mouth, and activities such as sucking and biting are crucial.

The latency stage is the fourth stage in Freud's psychosexual development theory, occurring from about age 6 to puberty. During this stage, sexual urges are repressed, and children focus on developing social and intellectual skills. This matches the description given in the question.

The phallic stage is the third stage, occurring from about age 3 to 6. During this stage, the focus of pleasure is on the genital area, and children experience the Oedipus or Electra complex.
