Document Summary
Normal growth and development: growth is steady, but not as great as it was during infancy or as great as it will be during adolescence, average annual growth is 7 pounds in weight and 2. 5 inches in height. Physiological development: muscular strength, motor coordination, and stamina increase, able to perform more complex patterns of movement, body fat. Increase in body fat (around 6 years of age) before puberty: earlier and greater in females than males (19% in females vs. 14% for males, bmi rebound (adiposity rebound)-usually begins between 6 and 6. 3 years. Parents and peers are role models; however, preadolescents exhibit more choice: children may continue to avoid or be reluctant to try new foods or begin to experiment because of increased independence. 1: when food is used as a reward or a punishment, it makes food a privilege rather than fuel for healthy living, controlling behaviors do not positively influence food habits.
