Preschoolers 3-5 yrs
Children at this age are very curious and have an
endless supply of questions. Try to answer as many as you can but keep
your answers short and simple.
Your child might start to "show off" or use
inappropriate language. Make sure your child understands what is
acceptable and what is not.
Preschoolers feel most secure when they have a
daily routine and rules are in place. You will notice your child will
become irritable if their routine is disturbed in some way. Anything
from having dinner late or missing their bath time can set your
preschooler into an awful mood.
You will find your child playing with forks and
acting out as if they are people, understand your child's imagination is
in full swing right now. Allow your child to play with conventional toys
and not so conventional toys. You will notice boxes, dishes or even your
old keychain will take on its own imagination in your preschoolers eyes.
As grown up as your child may seem they have
many fears and one of them is the dark. At bed time allow your child to
sleep with a security object such as a nightlight, blanket or stuffed
animal. Your child will rest easier and you wont have so any tantrums at
bed time.
