Physical Development
For 8-year-old children, physical development is more about refinement of skills, coordination, and muscle control rather than huge changes. They begin to look like "big kids," but puberty is still a couple of years away for most of them.
Children with natural athletic potential may show their abilities at this developmental stage as their physical skills become more precise and accurate. In fact, this is often the age at which children decide whether they are athletic or not and choose to participate in or avoid sports.
An 8-year-old may show more sophisticated and complex emotions and interactions. Most are able to mask their true thoughts or emotions to spare someone’s feelings. For example, a child who doesn’t like a presents may still smile and thank the gift giver.
