Individual Health and Well-Being - Middle Childhood

During the middle-years (ages 6-14), children learn important life skills such as problem solving and decision-making. These are the years that children enter school and establish new relationships with peers and adults. These new relationships, along with established family relationships, help develop a sense of self and belonging that contributes greatly to overall health and well-being.
