School Age Development

The school-age years (ages 6 through 12) bring new and exciting challenges and rewards for children. Using the initiative they established as preschoolers, the primary job of the school-age child is to develop a sense of personal competence. This means that children establish a sense of self or self-concept based on their abilities.

This self-concept is influenced by how easily they learn new skills. Children use feedback from important adults, peers and their own self-evaluation to judge their competencies. During this workshop participants with learn about school age development, peer relationships, awareness of self and others, communicating with the school age child and moving from concrete thinking to abstract thinking.
