Freud defined this phase the latency period to denote that intimate emotions and attentiveness are taken secretly. The sensations that make the early "eternal triangle" with the parents diminish, and spontaneous vivacity for other hobbies and doings. Erik H. Erikson proved that 'violent drives are normally dormant ... a lull before the storm of puberty, when all the earlier drives re-emerge in a new combination, to be brought under the dominance of genitality.' Latency period youths can later lead most of their liveliness into somatic activities including school, sports, and same-sex acquaintances: middle infantile specifically is made clear by 'the importance of school, teams, classes, friends, gangs and organised activities ... and the adults who run those.'
