A member asked:

What are the developmental milestones of kids from 8 to 12 years old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

We look at school wk: By the time a kid is in school the graphs & charts of infant development are put away and we gauge kids based on school performance. Any discrepancy in their schoolwork & perceived abilities can be evaluated using individual performance tests. The weschler intelligence scale for children and various achievement tests can be administered if needed.
