Seven year-old have a tendency to take life very seriously. They life’s worriers. Eight year-old are often enthusiastic about life and tend to be outgoing. Nine year-old may make a serious grab for independence and may start questioning your authority. They will enjoy the company of children of the same sex and has a tendency to stereotype the opposite sex and their associated interests – girls can’t play with trucks, boys can’t play with dolls. By 10-13 years: The child has now mastered many skills in writing & drawing, can draw detailed representational drawings & writing shows imagination they can solve more & bigger problems. Puberty starts with girls first more the boys but stamina increases with boys there growing awareness of different gender aspects Girls will grow buds of breasts at ten or eleven, her hips will take shape and she may begin to menstruate at eleven or twelve. Eleven is an early start for a first period and even at twelve and thirteen girls are not always emotionally prepared and welcoming of this powerful sign of approaching fertility. Boy’s physical changes and emotional challenges are not so dramatic for boys at this age, as they tend to mature physically a little later than girls. By 14-16 years: The child develops there own identity they may have different idea’s to the parents leading to possible conflict as they explore there own identity & develop there own personality. During this time your child’s thinking skills take a decidedly adult turn, his body matures, and friends and social networks outside the family become increasingly important.

In both boys & girls there pubic hair thickens, & darkens. Always hungry as appetite is great need for sleep increases, they may sleep quite late on, oily skin and acne may be. 1. 1. 2 In this section I will use one of my own son’s as an-example he has (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) ADHD One possible reason for this kind of behavior is ADHD Even though the child with ADHD often wants to be a good student, the impulsive behavior and difficulty paying attention in class frequently interferes and causes problems. Teachers, parents, and friends know that the child is misbehaving or different but they may not be able to tell exactly what is wrong. A child with ADHD often shows some of the following: trouble paying attention inattention to details and makes careless mistakes easily distracted loses school supplies, forgets to turn in homework trouble finishing class work and homework trouble listening trouble following multiple adult commands blurts out answers impatience fidgets or squirms leaves seat and runs about or climbs excessively seems ” on the go” talks too much and has difficulty playing quietly interrupts or intrudes on others So this being a factor show that a child with this type of problem it can affect the child’s development in school and home life in a big way 2. 2. 1 Background: This can be a number of things from the language they speak to culture issues, religious believes so if for example a child starts a new school and there main language is Welsh but the schools first language is English this will have an effect on that child. He/she may fall behind with school work and may need extra help. Health: Again this is a number of thinks from physical, mental to long term illness so if a child as cancer for example he/she will miss out on a lot of school work. Or if children with a mental illness like ADHD he/she may fall behind with school work and may need extra help. Environment: Every child will be raised in a different environment some may have one parent some have two some may have none and raised by someone outside a family situation. 2. 2. 2 From my experience on recognizing and responding to concerns is my oldest son and how he used to be very hyper active and some time miss behaved in school/home. It wasn’t till he was assessed with ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) at the age of 12 that we realized he had lost out on lots of school work in the years. But with help from school he is all most ready to take his exams this year. 3. 3. 1
