A 7-year-old child, typically in second grade, normally will be developing more complex sentences as they grow. They’ll learn to speak better and be able to follow a longer series of commands than they could at age 6. They have begun to see that some words have more than one meaning.

Most children by age 7: Grow about 2.5 in. (6 cm) and gain about 7 lb (3 kg) in a year. Lose about four baby teeth each year. These are replaced by permanent teeth. Thinking and reasoning (cognitive development)

At 7 years old, your child will act with much more independence than before. They will want to make more of their own choices, which is a sign of healthy growth and development. Kids this age will typically participate in physical activities at school, and some may want to do more of these activities outside of school, too.
