The normal social and physical development of children ages 3 to 6 years old includes many milestones. Show
InformationAll children develop a little differently. If you are concerned about your child's development, talk to your child's health care provider. PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT The typical 3- to 6-year-old:
Gross motor development in the 3- to 6-year-old should include:
Fine motor development milestones at about age 3 should include:
Fine motor development milestones at about age 4 should include:
Fine motor development milestones at about age 5 should include:
LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT The 3-year-old uses:
The 4-year-old begins to:
The 5-year-old:
Stuttering may occur in the normal language development of toddlers ages 3 to 4 years. It occurs because ideas come to mind faster than the child is able to express them, especially if the child is stressed or excited. When the child is speaking, give your full, prompt attention. Do not comment on the stuttering. Consider having the child evaluated by a speech pathologist if:
BEHAVIOR The preschooler learns the social skills needed to play and work with other children. As time passes, the child is better able to cooperate with a larger number of peers. Although 4- to 5-year-olds may be able to start playing games that have rules, the rules are likely to change, often at the whim of the dominant child. It is common in a small group of preschoolers to see a dominant child emerge who tends to boss around the other children without much resistance from them. It is normal for preschoolers to test their physical, behavioral, and emotional limits. Having a safe, structured environment in which to explore and face new challenges is important. However, preschoolers need well-defined limits. The child should display initiative, curiosity, the desire to explore, and enjoyment without feeling guilty or inhibited. Early morality develops as children want to please their parents and others of importance. This is commonly known as the "good boy" or "good girl" stage. Elaborate storytelling may progress into lying. If this is not addressed during the preschool years, this behavior may continue into the adult years. Mouthing off or backtalk is most often a way for preschoolers to get attention and a reaction from an adult. SAFETY Safety is very important for preschoolers.

At what age would a child be expected to jump hop on one foot skip and run?Hopping on one foot is generally seen around 3-4 years of age for typically developing children. This skill requires strength, balance, and coordination and usually comes after jumping.
Which of the following fine motor skills can a 3 year old preschooler perform?At age 3, children are developing fine motor control: they're more able to move their fingers independently, using them in more complex tasks such as holding writing utensils like an adult, cutting with scissors and making more complex and precise drawings.
At what age should the nurse expect most children to use 4/5 word sentences?While every child develops speech at his or her own rate, the following are some of the common milestones children may reach in this age group: 4-year-olds: May put together four to five words into a sentence.
What percentage of kids are potty trained by 18 months?In 1957, 92 percent of children were toilet-trained by the age of 18 months, studies found. Today the figure for 2-year-olds is just 4 percent, according to a large-scale Philadelphia study.
