Young children
Help your child thrive between ages 7 and 10. Understand their emotions, friendships, focus, and learning needs during this important stage of development.
Between ages 7 and 10, children are learning to manage emotions, build friendships, and adapt to growing demands at school and home. Parents may notice things like anxiety, low self-esteem, attention difficulties, or struggles with peer relationships. Recognizing these challenges early helps you offer support that builds resilience and confidence.
Many parents start asking questions when they notice:
• difficulty making or keeping friends
• frequent irritability, worry, or overwhelm
• trouble following instructions or staying focused
• strong emotional reactions that are hard to manage
• avoiding homework or losing interest in learning
• challenges with reading, writing, or understanding tasks
These signs may seem small, but they’re worth paying attention to.
