Changes that appear in children at the age of 9

Some characteristics and changes that appear at the age of 9, described by different teachers and psychologists.

• At the age of 9, a child is like before a "new threshold" of life. For the first time, consciousness "awakens" in the child. And in his inner life, the child feels his self in a new way, much more deeply than in the past.

• He or she begins to observe the world. At this age, the child better understands the action and the thoughts that created this action.

• Only at this age does he begin to understand the things that previously "slipped" him or he could not create the connection. This type of "awakening" or growth is manifested in the form of surprise or criticism. We have all encountered 9-year-old children who were once wise and at this stage become indifferent and do not like anything, and even become sarcastic when you advise them.

• The 9-year-old child no longer wants to be told fairy tales or read stories to him, he needs more, he wants real events.

• Nine-year-old boys generally express their doubts and criticisms.

• Nine-year-old girls, unlike boys, avoid doubts and withdraw into themselves. (cultural and educational problem)

• The transition to the age of 9 is often associated with the appearance of "unilaterality", which the family environment strengthens or keeps under control, enriching it or not and avoiding or not, the behavior.

• The nine-year-old child continues to be in the phase of imitating the behaviors and words of adults, therefore, in this period, adults should be even more attentive and ethical, as their behaviors are reflected in the child. If the adults are overbearing or careless with each other, the child will behave the same way.

• The 9-year-old child an action that he is asked and forced to do and adults do not do on his own, such as the child is asked to remove his shoes when entering the house and the father himself does not enforce it. The child interprets it as injustice. The child still has no mechanisms to understand why the father did this action.
