Practice Question
What is the most obvious physical change expected in the 6-year-old?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Loss of primary teeth
Rationale:
💎 Developmental milestone: Around 6 years of age, children begin to lose their primary (deciduous) teeth, marking the transition into the school-age period.
💎 Dental development: The first permanent molars (“6-year molars”) typically erupt at this time, and tooth loss continues gradually until about age 12.
💎 Other changes: Physical growth becomes more steady—gaining about 2–3 kg (4–7 lb) and 2 inches (5 cm) per year, not 4–5 inches.
💎 Psychosocial note: This stage also brings greater coordination, independence, and confidence, aligning with Erikson’s stage of industry vs. inferiority.
