The Musings of a Red Dalek
Now We Are Six
As tradition demands, I must alert you all to the fact that my blog is now six...

Six, seven, and eight-year-olds build on the important developments of the first 6 years of life and seem to settle down to a steadier pace of growing and learning. Young school-age children are interested in real life tasks and activities, and pretend and fantasy lessen considerably [...] School-age children have longer attention spans. They are more likely to stick with things until the project is finished, the problem solved, or the argument resolved. Doing things together with friends, teamwork, and following rules become very important. This age group is fascinated by rules and can develop games with extensive rules and rituals.

Of course, I will leave it to you to decide whether you think this blog 'views things as black and white, right or wrong, wonderful or terrible, with very little middle ground'

For the sharpest insight and analysis, always turn to six year olds
