A nurse is guiding a newly hired nurse on teaching motor skill development in school-age children aged 6 to 12 years. Which statement by the newly hired nurse correctly reflects effective teaching for this age group?

"Children are expected to count backwards from 20 to 1 by age 7."

School-age children demonstrate improved coordination and endurance, allowing participation in activities like running, jumping rope, and team sports.

Physical development at this stage is minimal, and children do not typically engage in organized physical activities.

"By age 6, most children can use tools such as a screwdriver or hammer."
