What is Sedentary behaviors

Child development is segmented into five periods and the bridge between early childhood and adolescence is named as “middle childhood.” One of the milestones of this period is schooling. Middle childhood children start learning about the world; their roles, responsibilities and how to participate in this world by communicating with others besides the family members. These abilities are gained mostly at school with peer relations. In this chapter, the developmental areas of middle childhood children will be discussed with examples from recent studies.
