Chapter 28 Growth and Development of
the School-Age Child Exam Questions
with Correct Answers
Which statement accurately describes *physical development* during the *school-age*
years?

a. The child's weight almost triples.

b. A child grows an average of 2 inches per year.

c. Few physical differences are apparent among children at the end of middle childhood.

d. Fat gradually increases, which contributes to the child's heavier appearance. -
Answer-B. A child grows an average of 2 inches per year.

In middle childhood, growth in height and weight occur at a slower pace. Between the
ages of 6 and 12 years, children grow 2 inches per year. In middle childhood, children's
weight will almost double; they gain 3 kg/year. At the end of middle childhood, girls grow
taller and gain more weight than boys. Children take on a slimmer look with longer legs
in middle childhood.

Generally the *earliest age* at which *puberty* begins is:

a. 13 years in girls, 13 years in boys.

b. 11 years in girls, 11 years in boys.

c. 10 years in girls, 12 years in boys.

d. 12 years in girls, 10 years in boys. - Answer-C. 10 years in girls, 12 years in boys.

Puberty signals the beginning of the development of secondary sex characteristics. This
begins in girls earlier than in boys. Usually a 2-year difference occurs in the age at
onset. Girls and boys do not usually begin puberty at the same age; girls usually begin
earlier than boys do.

What describes the *cognitive abilities* of *school-age children*?

a. Have developed the ability to reason abstractly

b. Become capable of scientific reasoning and formal logic

, c. Progress from making judgments based on what they reason to making judgments
based on what they see

d. Have the ability to classify, group and sort, and hold a concept in their minds while
making decisions based on that concept - Answer-D. Have the ability to classify, group
and sort, and hold a concept in their minds while making decisions based on that
concept

In Piaget's stage of concrete operations, children have the ability to group and sort and
make conceptual decisions. Children cannot reason abstractly until late adolescence.
Scientific reasoning and formal logic are skills of adolescents. Making judgments on
what the child sees versus what he or she reasons is not a developmental skill.

What describes *moral development* in *younger school-age children*?

a. The standards of behavior now come from within themselves.

b. They do not yet experience a sense of guilt when they misbehave.

c. They know the rules and behaviors expected of them but do not understand the
reasons behind them.

d. They no longer interpret accidents and misfortunes as punishment for misdeeds. -
Answer-C. They know the rules and behaviors expected of them but do not understand
the reasons behind them.

Children who are ages 6 and 7 years know the rules and behaviors expected of them
but do not understand the reasons for them. Young children do not believe that
standards of behavior come from within themselves but that rules are established and
set down by others. Younger school-age children learn standards for acceptable
behavior, act according to these standards, and feel guilty when they violate them.
Misfortunes and accidents are viewed as punishment for bad acts.

Which statement characterizes moral development in older school-age children?

a. They are able to judge an act by the intentions that prompted it rather than just by the
consequences.

b. Rules and judgments become more absolute and authoritarian.

c. They view rule violations in an isolated context.

d. They know the rules but cannot understand the reasons behind them. - Answer-A.
They are able to judge an act by the intentions that prompted it rather than just by the
consequences.
