Answer to Question 1

A
During the school-age years, the child will grow an average of 5 cm per year.
During the school-age years, the child will gain an average of 1.8 to 3.2 kg a year. Many children double, not triple, their weight during these middle childhood years.
Growth accelerates at different times for different children. Many physical differences are ap-parent among children at the end of middle childhood.
The school-age child appears slimmer as a result of changes in fat distribution and thickness.
