Because school-age children have developed increased muscular coordination and can apply cognitive ability to their behavior, the number of injuries in middle childhood is diminished compared to early childhood.
 
  Even so, injuries still occur near home and school. The most effective means of prevention is education for both the child and family regarding the hazards of risk-taking and the improper use of equipment. Please match the developmental ability of the school-age child with the injury for which he or she is at risk.
