My neighbor’s son is a seven-year-old child who has progressed
to second grade and is
becoming less reliant on his parents. He is a bright and athletic
child who can ride a bike, roller

2. skate, and play badminton and table tennis. The child is
attentive and can read, recount stories,
and do puzzles with ease. He is physically fit, standing 3 feet 12
inches tall and weighing 24
pounds. The body of a child grows and changes as it prepares to
become an adult (Papalia &
Martorell, 2018). Seven years is a remarkable age, especially
for boys, because it marks the end
of the newborn years and the beginnings of adulthood. He is,
nevertheless, going through a
seven-year crisis, a period of change in which the child gains a
new perspective on the world. It
enables him to advance to the next stage of his growth. Both at
home and on the playground, the
observation was made. This case study is based on observing
and analyzing changes in a seven-
year-old boy's physical, psychosocial, emotional, and cognitive
development.
The boy spends roughly an hour and a half every day on the
playground. He interacts
with the kids, runs with them, jumps, plays the ball, and hangs
from the crossbar. The muscles of
the legs, arms, chest, and back are all actively developed,
according to the findings. He grows

obstacles on one foot. He climbs up and down the stairwell and
the rope ladder with ease. The
child has no developmental limitations and can readily hang
from the crossbar. He also has no
trouble socializing and communicating with his classmates and
other youngsters on the
playground.

exercise. While participating in sports, he understands and
respects the rules of team games as
well as the coach's needs.There is also active growth of tiny
hand muscles, as well as phalange
ossification in the thumb and index fingers. This process is
aided by the added tension placed on
the fingers at school since the boy has complained of wrist
aches on multiple occasions.

5. The boy's cognitive and intellectual abilities have also changed,
according to the
observation made. The most apparent of these is his fascination
with new, unfamiliar words. Not
only does the youngster try to repeat them, but he also strives to
comprehend their significance.
As can be seen, the boy has developed imaginative thinking. He
can not only recall the name of
the unknown object, but he can also see it in great detail. The
toddler may create experiments
and solve complex issues in his imagination. He can readily
discriminate between distinct sounds
and detect differences between two words that appear to be
identical. Parents encourage him to
play a variety of word games in order to improve his talent. He
can focus on a single task for 25-
30 minutes and complete it. He reads and writes well as a
second grader, and he draws and paints
geometric forms appropriately. He can repeat a long story,
count to 100 in both directions, and
answer logical issues with ease. While acquiring more
complicated terms and reading a variety
of genres of literature, he continues to improve his literacy and
reading comprehension skills.

6. In terms of his psychosocial development, he appears to adjust
quickly to new situations.
The boy requests adult assistance with some duties and
indicates a desire to assist his parents. He
has analytical skills, according to the observations, because he
can successfully comprehend the
presented assignment, evaluate the situation, and reach a
conclusion based on his knowledge. Of
course, this isn't fully developed logic and reasoning, but the
earliest attempts to evaluate are
crucial for critical thinking development. He can easily engage
in educational activities and can

even complete things that he finds uninteresting without being
distracted by a play or other
distractions.
However, such drastic changes in a child's mentality have an
impact on his conduct and
perspective on life. The observer notices that the boy is going
through a seven-year-old crisis,
which is linked to the shift from childlike to conscious adult
behavior. He imitates and copies
grownups around him from time to time. It indicates that he is
experimenting with different
social roles. As a result, he has mood swings and is easily
irritated. His age group desires

8. autonomy and independence, as well as a level playing field
with adults and the freedom to make
significant decisions on their own. The observer also saw that
the youngster is terrified of
rejection and that being liked and accepted is essential to him.
To gain favorable attention, he
tries to please adults and children at school and on the
playground. This is especially noticeable
when he brings a variety of intriguing items and toys to the
playground to get his peers to have a
good attitude toward him. However, such behavior has
detrimental implications because other
youngsters tend to love the boy's possessions rather than the
boy himself.
A seven-year-old kid has a fully formed personality who attends
school and can learn and
assimilate a substantial amount of information in a methodical
manner. At the same time, he is
still a child who requires playtime. He also wants his parents'
and peers' affection and approval.
He has become fragile by the age of seven, and he keenly
perceives his failures and parental
criticism. These changes are accompanied by a seven-year
crisis, as well as an outpouring of

9. obstinacy, impatience, and capriciousness. The youngster
retains many childish characteristics,
such as playfulness and naivety, but his behavior is already
losing its childish spontaneity. He
thinks and perceives information in a different way. Most
importantly, he begins to comprehend
his position in society.
