CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -At this stage, children experience changes such as these: Increase in body strength and hand dexterity through physical activities. Improved coordination and reaction time. Increase in large-muscle coordination, leading to success in organized sports and games.

Detailed explanation-2: -Boys continue to be slightly heavier and taller than girls through 9-10 years of age. At this age girls then begin their growth spurt surpassing boys until around 13-14 years old. Then, during this time boys begin to approach the peak of their adolescent growth spurt and become taller and heavier than girls.

Detailed explanation-3: -The typical girl is slightly shorter than the typical boy at all ages until adolescence. She becomes taller shortly after age 11 because her adolescent spurt takes place two years earlier than the boy’s.

Detailed explanation-4: -On average, boys also tend to be taller than girls. That’s why doctors use separate growth charts for boys and girls to measure growth over time. For girls, height tends to peak around two years after the onset of puberty, which usually begins between ages 8 and 13. Some girls’ height tends to peak around age 14 or 15.
