All are important topics to discuss with this age,but children of this age are very active,and injuries are common.Motor vehicle accidents are a common cause of injury.They are just starting puberty,so sexual activity is still not usual.The discussion of appropriate food choices and getting enough sleep should be conducted periodically throughout the child's developmental stages; it is not peculiar to ages 10 to 12 years.The preteen years are particularly important for adequate sleep and rest primarily because of the physical changes,active social lives,and increasingly complex demands on their lives.
