Social Competency in Middle Childhood

Middle Childhood, ages 5-10, is an important stage of development. Boys in this stage start school, gain peer groups, begin to understand others and establish their abilities that make them unique. Boys achieve social competence by exhibiting basic interaction, friendship, communication, empathy and social rules skills.

Five to ten year olds make social comparisons to their peers and also have a strong desire for group belonging. Children typically have a slight drop in self-esteem due to higher expectations at this stage and the loss of their sunny optimism.
