Children develop physically, emotionally and socially at different rates. Here are some behaviors that you can expect in your preschooler-
*Will begin to have a longer attention span.
*Will act silly, goofy and loud.
*Will use and experiment with language that isn't nice.
*Will show an interest in numbers and letters
*Talk A LOT! Will ask lots and lots and lots of questions. The average four year old will ask up to four hundred questions a day.
*Desire real adult things. This is why we incorporate real cell phones, keyboards, keys and other items into our dramatic play.
*Will want to keep their artwork.
*Begin to test their physical skills but with caution.
*Will reveal feelings through dramatic play.
*Enjoy playing with friends but will not like to lose.
*Understand and know how to take turns, sharing, etc.
