Boys usually take longer than girls to maintain bedtime bladder control. Articulation: -24 months- 25% is understood by a stranger -24m-36m- 66% is understood by a stranger -3 years old- 90% should be understood by a stranger 3 and 4-year-old have a normal hesitance or show stuttering, considered abnormal if beyond 5 years of age Speech problems often can be from lack of stimulation, hearing problems, ear infections, developmental delay. Early detection important.

Belief in “magical” power of words. Ages 4-7- Preoperational intuitive thought- starting to understand time concept but limited. Example may understand “after lunch” instead of in 2 hours. Kohlberg (moral development) Judge an act based on consequences of reward and punishment They know the rules and behaviors expected of this, but do not understand the reasons behind them Can accept the concept of treating others as they would want to be treated. Judge an act based on intention not just consequences Piaget: Preoperational thinking (2-4yrs) - problem solving based on what they see directly egocentrism - only about them Centration - Focus only on 1 thing at a time Animism - things around them are alive Magical thinking - thoughts are all powerful - their thoughts can cause things to happen Developmental Assessment: BP starts at 3 years old or if at high risk Hearing and Vision at 4-5 years old Dentist: first tooth eruption or before 12 months; eruption of permanent teeth start at 5 yrs 3 years: Draw circle, cross and vertical/horizontal lines 4-5 years: Trace cross & copy a square, ties shoelaces 5-6 years: Draw a person, copies a diamond and triangle, can print name 2-4 yrs: Animism and magical thinking Magical thinking continues into 4-7 years Screening Tools: Ages and stages Questionnaire: helps with evaluating fine and gross motor development M-CHAT: evaluates for autism (used for children 16-30 months) Early language milestone (ELM): brief screening for speech intelligibility (3-4 years old) Preschool decision: parents should select a preschool with a play based learning curriculum Immediate referral is required for children who stop eating, demonstrate cruelty to animals or other people, are self- harmful, start fires, or talk of harming themselves, their peers or others Children with scores below 85 on intelligence scales predictably have more difficulty in school Language development is the best indicator of cognitive development, language delays may indicate serious issues that require developmental and educational intervention Vision screening 5y, 6y, 8y, 10y, 12y. Referral with acuity less than 20/40 (aap guidelines) Hearing screening 5y, 6y, 8y, 10y. (aap guidelines) Immunization: Hep Bx3: NB, 1-2 mths, 6mths Hib x4: 1-2 mths, 4 mths, 6 mths, 12-15 mths Rotavirus x3: 1-2 mths, 4 mths, 6 mths PCV x4: 1-2 mths, 4 mths, 6 mths, 12-15 mths DTaP x5: 1-2 mths, 4 mths, 6 mths, 15-18 mths, 4yr Polio x4: 1-2 mths, 4 mths, 6 mths, 4-6y MMR x2: 12-15mths, 4yr Varicella x2: 12-15mths, 4yr Older child Tdap x 1: 11-14yr Meningitis x2: 11yr, 17yr HPV x2 (6mths apart): 11-13yrs Hep A x2 (6 mths apart): between 12-23mths, recommended before middle school if not had earlier Safety Helmets, seat belts, still keep cleaning supplies out of reach/locked up. Gross Motor Development 3 years •Rides a tricycle •Walks on tiptoes •Stands on 1 foot for a few seconds •Broad Jump 4 years •Catches a ball •Hops & skips on one foot •Walks up and down stairs using alternate feet 5 years •Jumps rope, begins to skate and swim •Walks backwards heel to toe •Skips and hops (alternate feet) Sleep 12 hours at night, no naps but quiet time Nightmares - During REM sleep, fully awakes, able to be reassured, occurs at end of the night Night terrors - No during REM, not aware of others, partial arousal, no memory of dream, earlier in the night Child Aggression: Not necessarily the behavior itself that is the issue but the frequency, severity, timing.

Industry vs Inferiority. Industry: Development of formal skills, extrinsic rewards important like grades, cooperation, competition and coping leads to sense of accomplishment. Inferiority: ▪Danger during this period, especially for those with physical and mental limitations * No child is able to do everything well, and children must learn that they will not be able to master every skill they attempt Conceptual vs perceptual thinking: based on reason (conceptual) rather than what you see (perceptual). 95210 plan might be important, encourage reading. Communication and language development: Improved communication skills, 8-9 year olds can understand jokes, meanings, stuttering should resolve by school age. 10-12 year olds understand metaphors, ambiguities of language, speech and language disorders among the most developmen
