Mid-Late Childhood: Physical Development Human Development & Learning

What does Mid-Late Childhood Look Like? 6-year old ballet 8-year old ballet 9-year old ballet 10-year old ballet Did you see these things: Increased automaticity, increased muscle control, decreased centration, increased concentration- The six-year old dancer has to concentrate much harder on remembering each movement than dancers in the subsequent videos. She can’t seem to pay attention to her facial expressions and remember her steps at the same time. The 8-year old can dance while controlling her facial expressions, but her expressions don’t look natural and she is not nearly as adept at dancing with her whole body (e.g., from her toes to her finger tipes) as the 9-year old. The 10-year old looks like her movement are coming from within, not like she is having to move her body to dance as if it were a cumbersome object. Her movement flows, she is competent, she almost looks like an accomplished adult dancer. That’s a lot of change!

What were you like? When you were in the 1st grade (maybe) What activities did you like to do? Who were your friends? How did you feel about your parents? teachers? What did you think the future would be like? When you were in the 6th grade???

Body Growth and Change Slow, consistent growth Children grow an average of 2 to 3 inches a year They gain about 5 to 7 pounds a year due to increases in the size of the skeletal and muscular systems and size of body organs Feet get longer, body gets thinner, power increases

Brain growth and changes Total brain volume stabilizes by the end of middle and late childhood Significant changes in various structures and regions of the brain continue to occur (Durston & Casey, 2006). (Anderson, Jacobs, & Harvey, 2006) (Toga, Thompson, & Sowell, 2006)

Focal Activation in the Prefrontal Cortex Synaptic pruning -- areas of the brain not being used lose synaptic connections and those being used show an increase in connections Cognitive control -- which involves flexible and effective control in a number of areas These areas include controlling attention, reducing interfering thoughts, inhibiting motor actions, and being cognitively flexible in switching between competing choices (Munkata, 2006)

Motor Development Movement’s become more coordinated, subtle and refined. Begin to see difference between boys and girls Boys: Better at rough motoric skills Girls: Better at fine motor skills Increased myelination of the central nervous system is shown in improvement of fine motor skills Fine motor coordination develops so that children can write rather than print words

Health, Illness, Disease, Accidents, and Injuries Disease and death are less prevalent than during other periods in childhood and in adolescence Injuries are the leading cause of death during middle and late childhood most common cause of severe injury and death is motor vehicle accidents, either as a pedestrian or as a passenger other serious injuries involve bicycles, skateboards, roller skates, and other sports equipment most accidents occur in or near the child’s home or school (Hockenberry, 2005)

Cancer  Second-leading cause of death in U.S. children 5 to 14 years of age Incidence of cancer in children is increasing 1 in 330 children develops cancer before the age of 19 Child cancers mainly attack the white blood cells (leukemia), brain, bone, lymph system, muscles, kidneys, and nervous system (Neglia & others, 2001) (Savell & others, 2004)

Overweight The percentage of U.S. children who are at risk for being overweight has doubled from 15 % in the 1970s to almost 30 % today Girls are more likely than boys to be overweight Being overweight is less common in African-American than in non-Latino white children during childhood, but during adolescence this reverses (Flegal, Ogden, & Carroll, 2004) (Paxson & others, 2006)

Risks Caused by Overweight Being overweight raises the risk for many medical and psychological problems Overweight children can develop lung problems and hip problems Other problems include high blood pressure, elevated blood cholesterol levels, and type 2 diabetes Low self-esteem, depression, and problems in peer relations are common (Arif & Rohrer, 2006) (Daniels, 2006) (Bindler & Bruya, 2006) (Janssen & others, 2004)

Causes of Increase in Overweight Children Changes in diet Total caloric intake has also increased Time spent watching TV Inadequate levels of exercise Children are more fatigued by long periods of sitting than by running, jumping, or bicycling Why are they not exercising? How do we change this? (Nielsen, Siega-Riz, & Popkin, 2002) (Giammattei & others, 2003)

Prevention of Overweight Parents play an important role by: encouraging healthy eating habits in children by eating more family meals together, and making healthy foods available not keeping sugar-sweetened beverages and other unhealthy foods in the home reducing children’s TV time getting children involved in sports and other physical activities being healthy, physically active models themselves (Lindsay & others, 2006) (Salmon, Campbell, & Crawford, 2006)

Asthma Asthma is chronic inflammation of the airways. It affects between 10% and 20% of school-age children in North America three times as common as 20 years ago figures expected to double again by 2020

Possible Causes of Asthma genes on chromosomes 2, 11, 12, 13, and 21 exposure to allergens (dust, pet dander, etc.) LARRY MULVEHILL / PHOTO RESEARCHERS, INC.

Prevention of Asthma Clean air Breast feeding, remove pets from home Inhalers, medical treatment Many lower-income children lack insurance to get proper care!
