Document Summary

Week 6 middle childhood (chapters 7 and 8) Genetic and environmental factors safeguard middle childhood (the period between early childhood and early adolesesenece, approximately from ages 6 to 11) Self care is easy from brushing their new teeth to dressing themselves from making their own lunch to making friends at school. Once at school, brain maturation allows most of them t sit at their desks or tables and learn without too much di culty. Muscles including and heart and lungs become strong. With each passing year, children can run faster and excursive longer. As long as school age children get enough food, they continue to grow 5cm or more each year. Immunization has reduced the deaths dramatically, and throughout childhood, lethal accidents and fatal illnesses are far less common than a few years ago. Better medical care (diagnostic and preventative) has meant fewer children su er with chronic conditions such as hearing impairments or anemia.
