Study Notes
Child Development Milestones
- Loss of the first tooth usually occurs around ages 6 to 7, marking the transition to permanent teeth.
- A child's jaw begins expanding to accommodate permanent teeth generally by age 6.
- Cursive writing and reading classic books often start around ages 7 to 8, reflecting increased cognitive and motor skills.
- A decrease in head and waist circumferences typically happens between ages 6 to 8, indicating a shift in body proportions.
- Handedness is usually established by age 2 to 3, as children begin to show preference for one hand over the other.
- Improved posture for locomotion and efficient use of arms and trunk is evident around ages 2 to 3, as gross motor skills develop.
- By ages 6 to 8, children typically present a slimmer appearance along with reduced head and waist circumferences.
- Children commonly lose all primary (deciduous) teeth by age 12, completing the transition to a full set of permanent teeth.
