Study Notes
Middle Childhood (Primary Schooler)
- Developmental stage covering grades 1 to 3, marking the start of elementary education.
Biological/Physical Development
- Physical growth is slow but steady throughout primary school years.
- Involves good muscle control and coordination.
- Developing eye-hand coordination.
- Practicing good personal hygiene.
- Exhibiting awareness of safe practices.
Height & Weight
- Average height increases slightly over two inches per year for both genders.
- Weight typically increases by about 6.5 pounds annually.
- Children experience shifts in fat accumulation and distribution.
- Growth can be influenced by genetic factors.
- Exercise levels, dietary habits, medical conditions, climate, and presence of diseases/illnesses are factors.
Bones & Muscles
- A period of significant bone production, with bones growing in length and width.
- Primary or baby teeth are replaced by permanent teeth, starting around ages 6 to 7 and continuing up to age 12.
- Large muscle control is emphasized over fine motor skills.
- Growth and development of bones and muscles are ongoing.
Motor Development
- Focuses on refinement of major muscle control.
- Children have a developed sense of balance.
- Children exhibit love for movement activities (running, skipping, jumping, dancing)
- Gross motor skill development allows for activities that requiring one hand (unimanual).
- Gross motor skill development allows for activities that require both hands (bi-manual).
- Gross motor skill development allows for activities that require graphic skills (writing and drawing).
Motor Skills Definitions
Coordination
- Involves organizing and timing movements to achieve a specific outcome.
Balance
- Refers to maintaining body equilibrium or stability in various positions.
- Static balance involves maintaining stability in a fixed position, for instance, standing on one foot.
- Dynamic balance involves keeping stability while in motion.
Speed
- Covers a great distance in the shortest time possible.
Agility
- Quickly shifting body direction.
Power
- Maximizes effort in minimal time.
Cognitive & Language Development
Jean Piaget's Concrete Operational Stage
- Children have a better understanding of their own thinking skills.
Logic
- Inductive Logic includes thinking from a specific experience to understanding a general principle.
- Deductive Logic consists of using a general principle to a specific event.
Reversibility
- Recognition that actions can be undone or reversed.
Cognitive Milestones
Decentration
- Abandon egocentric thinking for more mature perspectives.
Sequential Manner
- Understand numbers before mathematical equations.
Information-Processing Skills
- The mind uses logical rules and strategies to process information.
Socio-Emotional/Psychosocial Development
Erik Erikson's Fourth Stage of Psychosocial Development
- Industry indicates involvement in tasks requiring patience and prolonged effort.
- Inferiority is a feeling of failure arising from not completing or mastering tasks.
Understanding the Self
Self-Concept
- Self-concept refers to understanding about the self.
- A healthy self-concept involves liking oneself.
- A healthy self-concept involves being accepted by family and friends.
- A healthy self-concept involves believing in one's capabilities.
