    During middle childhood, children typically develop physically by continuing to grow in height and weight according to genetics. Their brains and language skills also develop, allowing them to have meaningful conversations using correct grammar. Cognitively, children progress to Piaget's concrete operational stage, thinking more logically and flexibly as their information processing and memory improve. Atypical development may be signaled if a child cannot understand simple instructions. Families can support learning by continuing to read with their child, which expands vocabulary and promotes social-emotional growth. Children also develop stronger friendships and peer relationships emotionally during this stage. Morally, they begin to self-regulate and show empathy by recognizing when others are hurt.

    Middle Childhood

    1. Explains at least two physical developmental milestones that typically developing


    children should attain during this period of development.
    During this age a childs height and weight are still increasing. A lot of the growth is
    consistent with genetics. Not only is the body still growing but the brain is also still
    developing as well.
    2. Explains at least two language developmental milestones that typically developing
    children should achieve in this period of development.
    The foundation of language development is set early on during preschool and elementary
    however, the language is being strengthen and expanded during middle childhood.
    During Middle childhood a child is now able to hold a meaningful conversation. The
    thought process is way more complex by this time. A child this age is able to reason and
    is able to use correct grammar.
    3. Explains at least two cognitive developmental milestones that typically developing
    children should achieve in this period of development.
    According to Piagets theory around age 7 to 11 is when children go through the concrete
    operational stage. During this period Piaget states that a childs thought is more logical
    and flexible. Children are also going through information processing stage during this
    time and memory stage. Thought processes are coming together and making more sense
    that it ever has as far as logic and reasoning goes.
    4. Explains at least one sign that may signal atypical development during this period of
    development.
    During this stage I would say that atypical development would be if a child is unable to
    process and understand simple instructions. By this age a child should be able to follow
    directions and understand simple instructions. If a child is unable to process information
    by this age that is definitely a huge concern.
    5. Describes at least one strategy that families can use to influence their childrens
    learning and development during this period of development.
    During this age families can continue to read with their child, this expands and
    strengthens vocabulary. Stimulates the brain and promotes healthy social/emotional
    development.

    6. Incorporates at least two images that relate to physical, language, or cognitive


    development for this period of development to enhance the visual appeal of your fact
    sheets.

    7. Explains at least two social-emotional developmental milestones that typically


    developing children should achieve in this period of development.
    According to the CDC during this stage children start to form stronger, more complex
    friendships and peer relationships. They also state that it becomes more emotionally
    important to have friends, especially of the same sex.
    8. Explains at least two moral reasoning self regulation developmental milestones
    that typically developing children should achieve in this period of development.
    During this age children are definitely thinking on a more complex level. They are also
    aware of when they have hurt someones feelings, they will show empathy and be more
    sympathetic towards others.
