Growth and Development Currently, Dash is in the “School-Age” growth and development stage. In this stage children are becoming more graceful and their bodies are beginning to take on a slimmer look. By the end of this stage, boys and girls double their strength and physical abilities and their coordination improves as well. Muscles are still immature even though strength increases . The most profound change in this stage of development is the head circumference ratio compared to the child’s standing height, a decrease in waist circumference ration compared to height, and and increase in leg length in relation to height. This is also the stage known as “the age of the loose tooth” because the primary teeth are lost during this stage. In this stage, the body’s organs begin mature. The maturity of the gastrointestinal system is shown in fewer stomach upsets, better blood glucose level maintenance, and an increase in the stomach’s capacity. Caloric needs are less than those needed in the pre-school years. The heart grows slowly and is smaller compared to the rest of the body when in comparison to any other period in life. The child’s heart and respiratory rates decrease and blood pressure increases. The immune system becomes more capable of localizing infections and producing antibody-antigen responses.

Cognitive and Social Development Erikson: Dash is in the Industry versus Inferiority in Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development. During this stage, children experiment with relationships with same-sex peers. Children are eager to completely develop their skills and participate in meaningful work. A sense of independence gross in children as they want to engage in tasks that can be completed. Dash always wants to do complete tasks that he feels his parents would be proud of. He wants to be able to complete tasks without his mother’s help.
Piaget: Dash is currently in the concrete operations stage of Piaget’s stages cognitive development. During this stage children develop an understanding of relationships between things and ideas. They begin making judgments on what they reason. At this stage, children are able to group and sort objects and they are also able to order friends and relationships. Dash is able to classify his friends and he has stated bed. Kohlberg: During this time children’s morality begins to change. The child goes from the egocentric personality to thinking more logically. Children are able to internalize the moral values of their parents.
Nutrition During the school-age stage caloric needs are diminished in relation to their body size. Resources are now needed for the growth needs during adolescence. Parents need to be aware of having a balanced diet in order to promote healthy growth. Children are more prone to have empty calories due to the availability of fastfood restaurants, the influence of the media, and “junk food”. This has led to the childhood obesity epidemic along with the tendency of living a more sedentary lifestyle. Dash is lives a very active lifestyle and his parents cook healthy meals. They understand that a child’s diet depends on the family’s pattern of eating. “Junk food” is not made readily available and his school provides healthy meals based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s MyPlate.

Orem Self Care Requisites Orem: Dash is at an age where is able to be independent with his care. However, restrictions need to be set in place on his behavior. Children feel more secure knowing there is an authority figure that will implement restrictions. He has a good balance between activity and rest. School age children need to sleep at least 10 hours. His balance between social interaction and solitude are good. He has daily interactions with his peers at school, as well as his family. Discipline should take place in a positive, supportive manner with the use of strategies to guide the desired behaviors. During this stage, Dash may begin to engage in lying, stealing, and/or cheating. His parents need to be reassured that this behavior may occur occasionally. The best way to handle this behavior is for parents to set a positive example; children are more likely to follow in their parents’ footsteps. During this stage of development children begin to experience some form of sex play during or before preadolescence, which is normal. There will be an initial curiosity about the differences between boys and girls and children and adults. It is important that parents have an on-going communication with their children in regards to sex education.

QSEN Competencies
http://raisingchildren.net.au/safety/school_age_safety.ht ml
QSEN Competencies: The QSEN competency for Dash is safety. Children are now able to apply the cognitive capacities and are less prone to injuries. However, the most common ways that school-age children get injured are: motor vehicle accidents, drowning, burns, poisoning, and bodily damage. It is important that Dash’s parents teach him about proper use of seat belts while in the vehicle as well as the importance of wearing protective gear when riding a bicycle, moped, skate board, etc. In order to prevent drowning, his parents should teach him how to swim and the basic rules of water safety. Dash should be supervised until he is old enough. To prevent burn injuries, Dash should be taught how to safely cook for his age and be instructed on areas that he should avoid that are potential hazards. Education on the hazards of taking medications that are not prescribed as well as chemicals, such as alcohol, should be provided. Dash should also learn how to say “no” if offered any illegal drugs or chemicals. At this stage, Dash should be taught stranger safety and to say “no” when confronted by situations he is not comfortable with.
Developmental Concerns Nutrition: Parents have a knowledge deficit in regards to how readily available fast-food restaurants are and how easy it is for children to get a hold of unhealthy foods.
Although parents are unable to monitor what Dash eats outside of the home, the parent should at least provide healthy foods at home because the quality of his diet depends on the family’s pattern of eating (Perry, Hockenberry, Lowdermilk & Wilson, 2014).
G&D: Dash is starting to lie and get into to trouble at school. He is pulling pranks on his teachers and he is getting sent to detention a few times this last month.
Dash’s parents should teach him about listening and emphasize the concepts of right and wrong (Ward, 2014).
Social Development: Dash is having a lot of interaction with his peers, but he is not wanting to interact with his family at home as much as he used to. He is beginning to question his parent’s authority.
Although his parents might feel hurt by Dash’s rejection, they still need to maintain a sense of authority in which Dash will feel a sense of security that they can turn to whenever he endures a strained relationship or a stressful change in his life (Perry, Hockenberry, Lowdermilk & Wilson, 2014).
Safety: Dash is becoming more active and independent. He is more active in the outside world and more exposed to dangers such as pedestrian accidents and abduction.
It is important that Dash’s parents reinforce safety rules outside the home. They should educate Dash on “stranger danger”, crossing the street, bicycling safety, and playing sports ((Ward, 2014).
