Developmental Information

Emotionally, school-age children start to develop a better appreciation of other people’s feelings and how to work together with other people. They are able to establish and maintain relationships and friendships and strengthen their cooperative skills. Their communication skills are developing and are growing towards more positive self-esteem and independence. They are learning to manage their emotions and learning how to cope with stress or challenging situations.

More in-depth descriptions of behavioral and developmental changes are detailed in the workbook, as well as a reflection activity on your own growth during this time.
