I work in elementary so I can tell you first hand that little girls are often stronger than little boys through 5th grade. 6th grade is where it evens out mostly and then in middle school (after puberty) that is where boys' strength continually increases. It is noticeable and obvious in 8th grade, but by high school there is a huge difference in how much stronger boys are than girls.
Mentally and emotionally though the boys are already stronger than the girls most of the time by 4th grade. Girls are often coddled too much from an early age and it contributes to them not being able to handle disappointment or reprimands as well.
Stronger physically or emotionally? If we're talking physically, it just depends on the kid's size. There are periods in development (usually 10 - 13) when girls tend to grow faster than boys and they are often bigger during those growth spurts, but that doesn't last long. I've seen plenty of boys get their butts kicked by girls their own age during those years.
Emotionally? Well, there's no question females mature faster than males from puberty on. But the question is about little boys and girls here and anyone who says little girls are emotionally stronger than little boys obviously hasn't spent much time with them. My aunt runs a daycare and I have worked there for years, so I've watched the behavior of many dozens of little boys and girls. In general, little girls are more sensitive and need extra encouragement and emotional support compared to boys their age, at least up until puberty. There are obviously plenty of exceptions, but that is definitely of the rule.
Emotionally and maturity wise weaker but that’s rooted in the patriarchy and systemic misogyny that leads to a lack of accountability for behavior. The whole notion of “boys will be boys” that later translates to excuse for disrespecting women. Physically I’d say the same.
I am pretty sure at this age they are similar.
