A
  • Average newborn weighs 3400g, 50cm long, and 35cm head circumference

30
Q

Preschoolers (3 - 6 years)

Play

A

32
Q 
School Age (6 - 12 years)
Physical Development
A
  • Slower than at anytime but continues steadily (may vary depending on the child)
  • School aged children appears slimmer than preschoolers as a result of changes in fat distribution
  • Growth accelerates at different times for different children
  • Many children double their height during these middle childhood years
  • Boys are slightly taller and heavier than girls during these early school years
  • About 2 years before puberty, children experience a rapid acceleration in skeletal growth
  • Girls generally reach puberty first
  • Puberty occurs between the ages of 9 and 13 years in girls, and 11 and 14 years in boys
  • Cardiovascular functioning is refined and stabilized
  • Heart rate: 75-100 beats/minute
  • BP normalizes to approx.: 110/65
  • Respiratory rate stabilizes 20-30 breaths/minute. Lung growth is minimal and respirations become slower, deeper and more regular
  • Heart has generally reached its adult size, 6 times the size at birth
  • Large muscle coordination improves and strength doubles (more graceful)
  • Playing (running, jumping, throwing balls, catching, balancing, etc…) results in refinement of neuromuscular function and skills
  • Fine motor skills are improved and as control is gained over fingers and wrists children become proficient in a wide range of activities
  • Most 6 year olds can hold a pencil adeptly and print letters and words. By age 12, they can make detailed drawings and write sentences in script
  • Improve refine motor skills by playing computer games, painting, drawing, making models
  • Allow child to participate in care as much as possible. They have developed their own way of caring for themselves
  • Steady skeletal growth in the trunk and extremities occur. Dental growth is prominent during school years. First permanent tooth can erupt at 6. Begins with 6 year molars, and follow same order as primary teeth. By 12 years primary teeth have been shed &majority of permanent teeth have erupted.
  • Small and long bone ossification is present but incomplete
  • Body appearance and posture changes due to skeletal growth. Earlier stoop-shouldered, slight lordosis and prominent abdomen changes to a more erect posture. Girls over 12should be evaluated for scoliosis
  • Eye shape alters because of skeletal growth, this improves visual acuity
