CONCLUSION
The child in question has been able to meet all the growth and developmental changes for late
childhood stage of development.

This is evident from his physical observations as seen in the metrics of his weight and height which are
within the normal range for children in this developmental class.

He also demonstrated abilities in the other developmental indices of psychosocial and


cognitive/intellectual development with his abilities to carry out his motor skills like participating in
some sporting activities, his friendship zeal, self-hygiene care, intellectual ability to understand and solve
some basic arithmetic problems and his good command of grammar.

There is therefore no doubt that he has been able to meet the necessary physical changes at this stage
of his life and his development could be classified as normal based on his tested abilities and skills.
