During late childhood and early adolescence, children spend less time at home and more time outside with peers. They develop a sense of self-competence and industry as they acquire new skills. It is important for children to be provided varied opportunities to develop perseverance through successes and failures with sincere feedback. As children progress through this stage, they can describe themselves using internal traits and engage in more social comparisons, while also improving perspective-taking abilities such as understanding intentions and importance of social behaviors. Building friendships becomes important for emotional development and security. Family support is crucial to help children view failures as temporary rather than personal flaws.
