Understanding Typical Development for Children Aged 5-10

As part of our commitment to supporting the well-being and development of our students, we would like to share some insights from Royal Far West on the typical development milestones for children aged 5-10. Understanding these milestones can help us better support our children's growth and address any concerns early on.

Here are some key milestones for children in this age range:

• Age 5:

  • Forming more complex sentences
  • Engaging in imaginative play
  • Developing basic reading and writing skills

• Age 7:

  • Improving fine motor skills (e.g., writing neatly, using scissors)
  • Understanding and following multi-step instructions
  • Developing friendships and cooperative play

• Age 10:

  • Enhancing problem-solving abilities
  • Working more independently on tasks
  • Showing increased empathy and understanding of others' perspectives

If you have any questions or concerns about your child's development, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to support you and can provide resources or referrals to specialists if needed.

Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting our students' growth.
