This course has been specially designed to help parents understand and support the specific needs of children aged 6-12 years old.
Children in their middle years’ experience heightened emotions, look to gain greater independence and develop their individual identities. This can cause conflict as it can feel like the child is pulling away from the family unit. For parents, it can be a disconcerting experience and be a period of upset and stress for both parties.
This course will give you the skills you need to work with your children as they transition from children to young people.
You will learn key principles in child development, psychology and psychosocial development in middle childhood. This will provide you with a greater insight into the complex developments that children of this age group go through.
The aims and objective of this course are to provide you with an understanding of the middle years through studying a comprehensive syllabus. You will touch on confidence and self-esteem, children’s emotions and stress as well as how to manage behaviours.
Through your studies you will be able to help children and young people with emotional resilience, relationships, raising aspirations, communicate more effectively and promote engagement, achievement, and growth.
This course is suitable for parents to help broaden their knowledge as well as anyone wanting to work with children in middle childhood. This includes foster carers, teaching assistants, teachers, social work assistants, child carers and youth workers.
This course is suitable for parents or anyone working with middle years children. The subject matter will provide you with valuable insight into the mind of children between the ages of 6 and 12.
If you’re pursuing a career in child care or a related field, it will provide you with a foundation of knowledge ahead of formal studies.
This online course will give you a unique perspective and valuable set of skills enabling you to work with middle years children in a home or formal education setting.
The skills you gain will help you to build positive relationships and foster trust between you and the children in your care.
This course could serve as an ideal introduction to working with young people or training to become a teaching assistant.

The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject.

The course itself has been designed Stonebridge Associated Colleges to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. The Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.
