Tips For Parents Of Pre School Children To Identify Behavious Traits

SURREY, U.K. - March 18, 2019 - PRLog -- Pre – Schooler Behaviour and Solutions

What are typical behavioural characteristics and challenges?

Children are in the Preschool Years from 3 years old until they start school. These children are starting to show personality traits and more intellectual development, including:

Egotism. A pre-schooler is the centre of the world. Your child believes that everything in the world revolves around her.

Independence. A pre-schooler will want to dress by himself and want to help you with the household chores. Be patient as your child practices these skills.

Creativity. Imaginations are constantly "on." Your child's world is full of magical things at this time.

"Why?" Pre-schoolers are trying to learn all about their environments; they will ask "why" constantly! Take the time to help your child learn about what causes the events happening around him.

Sociality. Pre-schoolers are learning to be a good companion or friend to other children their age. Pre-school play dates or playgroups provide wonderful opportunities for your child to learn important social skills.

Listening. Pre-schoolers must also learn to listen to others with interest. Model appropriate listening behaviour for your pre-schooler by actively listening when she tells you about her day, her friends and her discoveries.

Motor skills. Pre-schoolers are also learning complex movements such as hopping, climbing, and skipping. Let your child practice and make it fun!

Language. Pronunciation improves during this time. Don't be alarmed if your child leaves out word sounds occasionally.

Principles. Pre-schoolers are also learning the difference between right and wrong. You can help by setting firm and consistent limits for your child.

Reality vs. fantasy. Pre-schoolers must learn the difference between reality and fantasy. By the end of the preschool years, your child will have a better understanding of past, present and future.

Phobias. New fears, especially to unfamiliar sights and sounds are common at this age. Be supportive while trying to ease irrational fears.

Poor sportsmanship. Pre-schoolers learn to follow simple rules in the games they play, but they will always want to win and be in "first place." Playing "fair" will come later in your child's development.

Highly impressionable. Pre-schoolers are heavily influenced by what they see. It's important to actively supervise what your child is exposed to on television and in the real world.

Sexual curiosity. It is normal for pre-schoolers to engage in sexual exploration. Help your child learn what is appropriate.

Children this age are constantly testing their parents and the world. Many parents face similar behavioural problems. Here are some solutions to some everyday problems.

Some days my pre-schooler acts as though she's ready to be "all grown up," other times I fear she's regressing back to her "baby" days. How can I help her through this change?

Help your child transition from "baby" to preschool. Your child may rely on security items (e.g., blankets, special bear) and needs your understanding about the importance of these special items.

Master the art of feeling identification. "Learning to recognize and deal with children's feelings is a vitally important step in handling children's behaviour."

Pre-schoolers haven't learned what feelings are, how to talk about them or what each one feels like. They may throw a toy or tantrum when trying to deal with frustration or anger.

Parents must interpret nonverbal clues, understand feelings, and help their child understand too.

For example, Jamie starts crying when Mum leaves to go to the shop. Dad says, "Oh you're crying because you're sad that Mummy left. She'll be back soon." Dad realizes what Jamie is feeling and helps her recognize the feeling "sad."

Children are very sensitive to nonverbal communication. For example, Johnny comes running inside to show Dad the picture he drew. Dad barely takes his eyes away from his work. Johnny learns Dad is not interested in Johnny's achievement.

Make sure to maintain eye contact when you express your feelings to your child.

Eye contact tells your child she is important and that you are focusing on her. It also encourages her to make eye contact with you.

Making eye contact increases the effectiveness of your message.

Be aware of your posture and position when talking with your child.

Get down to your child's eye level. Kneel next to him or sit beside him to take away the intimidating difference in size and height.

Watch out for negative body language. For example, crossed arms or legs can indicate that you are "closed off," resistant, or hostile.

Monitor your tone of voice.

Your tone of voice may be the most powerful nonverbal tool of all!

A simple phrase can be interpreted differently depending upon the tone of voice.

Keeping the voice calm, soothing, and soft helps children feel safe and able to express themselves in return.

Remember the importance of facial expressions and touch.

Simply rubbing a child's back, smiling and winking, or tucking a child into bed communicates, "I care about you."

Children are very aware of our faces and the way we express affection through the touch of our hand or a hug.
