2 OBSERVING SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN 6 TO 10 YEARS OLD Upon observing the video footage of the young children, I saw a clear differentiation between the preschool-aged individuals. Undoubtedly, the children have experienced a significant increase in their physical stature and have acquired enhanced strength. One of the boys playing with trucks has the ability to reposition himself on his feet. He exhibits excellent bodily coordination. The individual's fine motor skills have shown improvement. The child with the braids demonstrated proficiency in handling and dispensing the jug of vinegar, whereas another girl expressed uncertainty about her ability to pour it independently. New faculties are also being established. The girl with pigtails is using her sense of smell to detect the odor of vinegar. She also sampled it and found the taste unpleasant.

The boy informed the girl that she had added a substantial amount of vinegar, and I believe she affirmed by saying, "You're right." He was expressing his evaluation and she did not become angry about it. They had the opportunity to interact amicably and collaborate. There was a significant disparity between the school-age children and the infants/toddlers and preschoolers .Infants have limited mobility. They acquire the ability to crawl and then progress to sitting up, eventually learning to walk with assistance. Toddlers have the ability to
