Your Child Has Now Reached the Period of Middle Childhood

Essay

Your child has now reached the period of middle childhood. How would you characterize your child's growth during this period? Is it similar to your text's description of "slow but steady"? Have you noticed your child losing his/her baby fat and becoming more muscular, with strength steadily increasing? In addition, your text notes that during middle childhood the majority of permanent teeth replace the primary teeth of early childhood. Have you observed this with your child? How many teeth per year has your child lost? Does this coincide with the norm, according to your text? Explain.
