    During the school years, children's self-confidence and independence grow as they face new academic and social challenges. As children mature, parents must balance protecting them while also allowing greater responsibility and decision making. Despite rapid development, school-age children still need parental guidance to develop healthy habits through sufficient sleep, exercise, limiting screen time, and building family traditions. Physical skills improve along with language, cognitive, social and emotional development as children progress through elementary, middle and high school.

    SCHOOL-AGE DEVELOPMENT

    During the school years, children gain independence and competence quickly. Friends become
    more important and influential. A child’s self-confidence will be affected by the academic and
    social challenges presented in the school environment.

    As kids mature, the parenting challenge is to find a balance between keeping them safe,
    enforcing rules, maintaining family connections, allowing them to make some decisions, and
    encouraging them to accept increasing responsibility.

    Despite their rapid growth and development, they still need parents and caregivers to set limits
    and encourage healthy habits.

    Here are some things you can do to ensure that your child continues to be healthy:

     Make sure they get enough sleep.


     Provide opportunities for regular exercise and individual or team sports.

     Create quiet, positive spaces for reading and studying at home.

     Limit screen time and monitor online activities carefully.

     Build and maintain positive family traditions.

     Talk to your children about consent and setting boundaries with their bodies.

    Babies, toddlers, and school-age children develop new skills and abilities in a steady progression
    as they get older. Every child develops at an individual pace.

    Using developmental milestone checklists may be helpful for parents and caregivers who want
    to be sure that a child is growing in healthy ways. But it’s also important to keep all well child
    appointments, as development is screened at each of these.
