“Is it normal my 3 year old has trouble hopping on one leg?” or “Should my 4 year old be able to brush their teeth on their own?”. Do these questions sound familiar to you? An immense amount of development occurs during the ages of 3-6 and it can be difficult for adults to know when a child should be trying and accomplishing new skills
In an era of TV, video and computer games and electronics, children are spending less time actively playing. By actively playing, we mean “good old” get your hands dirty, arts and crafts, and going to the park type of playing. As parents and educators it is crucial we encourage our children to actively play. Active play encourages proper growth and development. Playing outdoors and doing hands-on activities at home or in school using basic materials is an easy and successful means to encourage proper growth and development for pre-kindergarten children, while having fun!
