    Intermediate schoolers are in late childhood and can think concretely and logically about immediate situations using reasoning and logic, though abstract thinking remains difficult. Their thinking skills, vocabulary, and reading level have increased, and they have longer attention spans than younger children. Creativity is encouraged through activities that celebrate uniqueness and reduce stress. Media use has increased and can positively impact communication and collaboration skills but also increases risk of aggression if exposing children to excessive violence. Teachers must understand child development and use curiosity to support growth while keeping children safe.

    younger children.

    appropriate developmental leaps in their skills and abilities.
     Must create an atmosphere where risks can be taken and discoveries made
    while children remain safe.
