Unit 6 Comparative Chart Group 2

In middle childhood, children experience growth spurts that cause growing pains and the replacement of baby teeth with permanent teeth. Their body fat distribution changes and muscle strength increases. In late childhood, boys and girls continue growing taller and developing secondary sex characteristics like breast growth in girls and testicle enlargement in boys. Children at this stage gain coordination and skills that allow them to engage in more complex physical activities.
