New developmental tasks are undertaken in middle childhood, and development occurs within physical, cognitive, cultural identity, emotional, and social dimensions. Although each developmental domain is considered separately for our analytic purposes, changes in the developing child reflect the dynamic interaction that continually occurs across these dimensions. For this specific case study, I will only discuss two of these domains, which are social development and physical development. Social Development: The task of social development is probably the most recognized task today; where middle-aged children begin to develop feelings of self-competence. Most conventional developmental scholars believe that the average childhood child seeks any opportunity to demonstrate his or her personal abilities and skills. According to developmental psychologist Erik Erikson (1963), he describes the developmental task of middle childhood as “industriousness versus inferiority”; where industry refers to the child's drive to learn new knowledge and skills and, on the other hand, children who do not develop a sense of industry, but rather see themselves as incapable, are likely to develop a self-view of inferiority compared to their children. peers.Peers: The second most influential members during middle childhood are peer groups, following closely behind the family.

In conclusion, Ali had a very troubled childhood and instead of letting it get him down he found ways to overcome his difficulties, helping him through his childhood, which also helped him in his transition to young adulthood. Bowlby's attachment theory played a prominent role in Ali's life as he eventually became very close to his mother. Although he experienced social and physical development later than an average child, the developments were still significant in his transition, allowing him to become a confident, independent and successful man..
