Detailed explanation-1: -During middle childhood, adults can help encourage positive peer relationships by pointing out the viewpoints of others. During adolescence, physical growth is faster than any time other than infancy. The pituitary gland signals the endocrine system to release hormones, which is the onset of puberty.

Detailed explanation-3: -Self-Concept Children in middle childhood have a more realistic sense of self than do those in early childhood. That exaggerated sense of self as “biggest” or “smartest” or “tallest” gives way to an understanding of one’s strengths and weaknesses.
Detailed explanation-4: -Many girls and boys experience a prepubescent growth spurt, but this growth spurt tends to happen earlier in girls (around age 9-10) than it does in boys (around age 11-12). Because of this, girls are often taller than boys at the end of middle childhood.
