• Head is still relatively large, but other parts of the body continue to catch up as body
proportions become steadily more adultlike
• Boys have more muscle while girls have more fatty tissue
• Muscular and skeletal growth progresses, making children stronger
• Increased capacities of the respiratory and circulatory systems build physical stamina
along with the developing immune system
sleep/night terror - Answer -awaken abruptly early in the night from a deep sleep in a
state of agitation. Occur mostly between the ages of 3 and 13 and affect boys more

gross motor skills - Answer -physical skills that involve large muscles
