what is the age range for middle childhood?
7-10yrs
what do children devote most of their time to during middle childhood?
school and peer group interactions
major developmental tasts are achievement in school and acceptance by peers
7
academic expectations intensify, become more abstract, require child to concentrate on, attend to, and process increasingly complex auditory/visual info

7-8yrs
corresponding arithmetic: adds and subtracts 1-digit numbers
7-8yrs
Learning disabilities or attention, organization, and impulsivity problems occur
8-9yrs
-may have significant issues with these tasks, receiving negative reinforcement from teachers/parents = poor self-image manifested by behavioral difficulties
–> pediatrician must evaluate potential learning disabilities in any child not developing adequately at this stage or present with emotional/behavioral issues
what determines the difference in success at school for 8-9yr olds?
quality of the response, attentional abilities, and child’s emotional approach
activities to be observed: defines words better than by use (“what is an orange?” “a fruit.”)

9-10yrs
Corresponding arithmetic: learning simple multiplication
9-10yrs
what is viewed as part of a continuum of responses by the child to a variety of internal/external experiences (biological/environmental)?
behavioral variations
definition: temperament
genetically influenced behavioral disposition that is stable over time; “how” of behavior vs the “why” = motivation of the “what” = ability; independent psychological attribute that is expressed as a response to an external stimulus (experiences –> influences temperament –> influences responses of others in child’s environment); hard to evaluate in younger ages d/o variety of internal/external experiences
how common is it for a child in 1st grade to wet the bed? (%)
20%
Enuresis: prevalence
-boys or girls?
-age?
boys, among 7-9yr olds
Enuresis: definition
repeated urination into clothing during the day and into the bed at night by child who is chronologically and developmentally OLDER THAN 5 YEARS
-this pattern of urination MUST OCCUR at least TWICE A WEEK for 3 MONTHS
Enuresis: two types
- monosymptomatic (never have been dry at night for >6MO with no daytime accidents)
-reflects a maturational disorders (delay in the maturation of the urologic and neurologic systems) with no underlying organic problem - complicated/non-monosymptomatic (involves nocturnal enuresis and daytime incontinence; reflects underlying disorder)
Enuresis type 1
-causes
-evaluation
-genetic; children have higher threshold for arousal (don’t wake to full bladder sensation); overproduction of urine from dec production of desmopressin or resistance to ADH
-hx and physical exam; every child should have UA including specific gravity; obtain urine culture in girls
Enuresis type 1
-first line treatment
-second line treatment
-education and avoidance of being judgmental/shameful towards child; behavioral strategies used for 3 months every night (limit liquids before bed, awaken child at night, bedwetting alarms); parents need to be active participants (most common cause of failure is child does not awaken or parents do not wake child)
-desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) –> decreases urine production; high relapse rate when medications are stopped
