Middle Childhood, encompassing ages 6-12, is vital for establishing mental health and social skills, yet it remains largely ignored. This period, marked by early experiences with anxiety and peer dynamics, lays the groundwork for future emotional challenges often perceived during adolescence. With puberty starting earlier and social pressures intensifying through factors like social media, children are increasingly facing emotional turbulence earlier. Professionals stress the importance of recognizing this phase to support children's emotional resilience and self-esteem, preventing struggles in later years.
Middle Childhood is a critical yet often overlooked stage where foundational aspects of mental health, social confidence, and emotional resilience are developed.
In middle childhood, children face early signs of emotional dysregulation, anxiety, and academic pressure, laying the groundwork for challenges faced later in adolescence.
