The development of school-age children is a pivotal phase in human growth, marked by significant cognitive, emotional, social, and physical changes that shape their academic success and lifelong well-being. Training focused on understanding and supporting this developmental stage equips educators, caregivers, and professionals with the tools to create environments that foster growth, resilience, and positive outcomes for children aged 6 to 12 years. This training emphasizes the intricacies of brain development, the role of peer and adult relationships in social learning, and the impact of physical milestones on academic and extracurricular achievements. Additionally, it explores strategies to address the diverse needs of children, including those with exceptionalities, while promoting equity and inclusion in educational and social settings. By grounding these practices in evidence-based research and developmental theory, participants gain a comprehensive framework for nurturing the whole child, preparing them to thrive in increasingly complex social and academic landscapes.
