{"abstract":"Middle childhood (age 6 to 12) is a pivotal developmental stage, yet evidence on structured wellness programs for this age group is limited and fragmented. This scoping review aimed to map and synthesize outcomes of such health promotion initiatives. Following Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and PRISMA-ScR, PubMed/MEDLINE, PsycINFO, ERIC, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for peer-reviewed literature published from 2016 to 2026. Eligible studies were quantitative and qualitative, focusing on structured wellness interventions for children aged 6-12 years. Twenty-six studies from diverse geographical regions, intervention models, and methodological designs were included. Three interconnected themes emerged: psychological self-regulation and emotional competence, behavioral adaptation and classroom functioning, and social and interpersonal connectedness. The most consistent gains were reported in emotional awareness, attention, academic engagement, and peer relationships. Implementation fidelity, cultural relevance, family and community involvement, and wider structural factors, including social inequities, moderated intervention effectiveness. Few intervention studies focused on older children (11–12 years). These findings suggest structured wellness programs serve as institutional infrastructure for child development, but their long-term impact requires pairing school-based delivery with equity-focused policy support and addressing the evidence gap for early adolescents.","abstract_source":"gemini_shortened","authors":["James Esguerra","Maria Leonora Apostol","Marria Guadalupe Vizconde","Maribeth Macalalad","Lovella Peña Meyer","Jasmine Nadja Pinugu"],"date":"2026-10-11","doi":"10.70838/PEMJ.640109","id":11051,"issue":1,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"1af3b52f89e878296cd1a57cdee2e7eea04aa5e4bec94281abe9215fe5b78f0e","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Outcomes of Wellness Programs for Children in Middle Childhood: A Scoping Review Utilizing PRISMA-ScR Guidelines","volume":64}
