It's the Oedipal complex. During the Phallic Stage the child resolves the Oedipal complex (or Electra complex for a female) when he or she identifies with the same sex parent and no longer "covets" the opposite sex parent. That prepares him/her to begin to learn the "appropriate" roles that each gender will assume (during the latency stage).
