A 4 year old can balance on one foot and walk on the stairs without assistance. According to Lauren Krause, Chief of Speech Language Pathology at La Rabida Children’s Hospital in Chicago, 90% of children of 4 years of age can speak clearly but some of them are having a hard time pronouncing “s”, “th” and “r”.
Self-help skills are learned at this age too such as eating alone by using spoon and fork, washing hands after going to the bathroom, and washing oneself too. Long and short, big and small comparisons are already familiarized and mastered by the 4 year old.
Personal details in case of emergency can be taught to the 4 year old such as her full name, age, address and telephone number. She already has the retentive memory to retain these information and be used when there is a need for it.
One of the biggest challenges for every parent of a 4 year old is to prepare the child in attending pre-school. Most moms say that having a baby sitter is one of the advanced training for the 4 year old. Through this she will understand that the parent can leave her but then can pick her up again after some time. Separation anxiety can be lessen when the time for school comes!
