Congratulations, Your Child is Four Years Old!
Parenting Tips for Your 49-50 Month Old Child
Your four-year-old child is very curious about many things and is so much fun. She can understand much of what you say and can teach you a lot about the world. The way a four year old sees the world is like no one else. Please listen to your child when she talks. Your listening lets her know that she is important to you. Talk with her and ask her questions about what she notices and thinks and feels.
Be sensitive to your child’s fears, even if you do not understand them. Although she seems very independent, your child still needs lots of hugs and encouragement from you. The way you treat her is one way she learns how to feel about herself. Your care and respect help her feel like a worthwhile person. If you watch her closely, you will get clues about why she does what she does and how to help her grow.
