How would you translate this legal age? In law, it is from about 6 or 7 and on until puberty, so "the toddler years" would not be good.

I think that preteens or pre-pubescence would probably be the best. Minors covers years beyond the 6-11 range. Thanks.

latency period, latency stage


Explanation:
Wikipedia - the latency stage is less of a stage and more of period between stages, it may begin at any time between the ages of 3 and 7 (whenever the child goes to school) and may continue until anywhere from the ages of 8 to 13 (whenever the child's puberty begins). The age range is affected by childrearing practices; mothers in First World countries, during the time when Freud was forming his theories, were more likely to stay at home with young children, and adolescents began puberty on average later than adolescents today.


Example sentence(s):
  • LATENCY PERIOD: The period of reduced sexuality that Freud believed occured between approximately age seven and adolescence.
  • Psychoanalysts also use the term “latency period” if they subscribe to the Freudian approach, using the term to refer to a specific stage in child development.
