PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT IN MIDDLE CHILDHOOD

KEY POINTS TO PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT Development occurs most in the first three years of life than any other period throughout development During middle childhood, it becomes slow and quite irregular At age 6, children generally weigh 45 pounds and are 3.5 feet tall Children continue to grow about 2 to 3 inches in height and 5 pounds in weight each year

GROWTH SPURTS Girls Boys

PHYSICAL GROWTH During infancy and early childhood, children grow from top to bottom (cephalocaudal). However, during middle childhood, we reverse in development—we grow from bottom to top In the early periods of development, we also grow proximodistal (from center outward). This development reverses during middle childhood Females accumulate more fat after the age of 8 (note, this accumulation continues throughout adolescence)

NATURE OR NURTURE??? Developmentalists note the significant difference in growth between generations NATURE --Good genes are passed thru next generation. Bad genes are not passed NURTURE --Nutrition --Health --Disease control --Monetary resources

SECULAR TRENDS Changes in growth or body size from one generation to another generation Onset of menarche

SKELETAL DEVELOPMENT DURING MIDDLE CHILDHOOD Bones grow longer and broader Replacement of primary (baby) teeth with permanent teeth Between ages 6 and 12, all 20 primary teeth are replaced Children lose their 1 st at the end of early childhood. Girls lose their teeth earlier than boys The 1 st teeth to go are central incisors (lower and upper front teeth) 1/3 school age children suffer from maloclusions In 14% of cases, serious difficulties in chewing and biting may result Maloclusions generally caused by thumb sucking after permanent erupt or crowding of permanent teeth

BRAIN DEVELOPMENT Brain development-the frontal lobe increased in size and maturity. Responsible for thought and conscious Brain development is highly attributed to neurotransmitters—chemicals that allow communication between neurons through synapses. Over time, they become more selective and efficient When neurotransmitters are not balanced, predisposed to epilepsy, ADHD, and emotional disturbances

HEALTH RELATED PROBLEMS Infections/diseases are less prevalent in this period. Except among those in poverty. Some 25% are affected with myopia (nearsightedness) 27% of children suffer from obesity (leading to HB pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, respiratory abnormalities, heart disease.

FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH CHILDHOD OBESITY Heredity Social Class Early Growth Pattern Family Eating Habits Responsiveness to food ques Physical Activity Television Viewing—by the time a child reach highschool, he has spent 25,000 hours watching TV Traumatic Events Type Personality (A or B)
