School-age children generally want to be brave and cooperate, although they still fear pain and the loss of control. They often ask lots of questions and are curious about using your equipment. Allow them to examine the equipment, and provide concrete answers to their questions whenever possible because children at this age become very logical. Teach them the proper names for equipment and body parts. Modesty may begin to appear in this age group, so be sensitive to this. A head-to-toe sequence is possible for this age.
