Middle Childhood physical, language, and cognitive development milestones (7 to 11 years)

Physical – hand-eye coordination is well developed

Has good balance, and can execute simple qymnastic movements, such as somersaults

Language – uses a vocabulary of several thousand words.  Demonstrate a longer attention span

Cognitive – Thinks in a more organized, logical fashion about concrete information, as indicated by gradual mastery of Piagetian conservation, class inclusion, and seriation problems, including transitive inference (Berk, 2013).

Displays more effective spatial reasoning, as indicated by ability to construct well-organized cognitive maps and give clear direction (Berk, 2013).

An atypical development in this stage is coming to school late.

One can help their child by getting them an alarm clock and encouraging them to eat breakfast with them ensuring an early wakeup.
