DEVELOPMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF THE SCHOOL-AGED CHILD
Developmental Assessment of The School-Aged Child

The needs of the pediatric patient vary depending on their age, as well as each stage of

development and the expected assessment findings for each stage. An assessment of a school-

aged child from ages 5-12 and their needs will be examined and discussed in the next few

paragraphs. It is very important to have a thorough pediatric assessment of the school-aged child

that is suited for the age of the child as well as what developmental stage they should be in.

School-aged children are ambitious learners, mentally active and understand cause and effect in

situations. During this stage, these children are building self-esteem and they are yearning to fit

in with their peers. It is essential to openly talk about substance and abuse and sexual education

in this stage of life, as children are given more lifestyle choices and they may not always have

the best judgment (Hagan et al., 2017).

Ages 5-12 is a broad range to learn and know the assessment skills necessary that pertain

to each developmental age. The nurse must recognize the growth and developmental stages for

each child’s age group. It is imperative to gain trust, cooperation and encourage engagement of

the child when initiating an assessment with the child (Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention [CDC], 2019b). Constructing an affinity with the parents or caregivers will also help

to establish trust with the child. Once this is developed, it is important to incorporate the child in

the interview and assessment process. This gives the nurse the opportunity to assess the child’s

language skills, ability to interpret, think, understand and also look into their social skills. The

nurse may also want to think about providing more privacy with the older school-aged child

when talking with the nurse. Younger school-age children often need to play and have

distractions, as older children can be more interested in talking about school, sports, friends,

extra-curricular activities, etc. (Hagan et al., 2017).
