Perfectly Normal (if Challenging) Four-Year-Olds

 

You thought you’d fought every battle during the “terrible two’s?” Welcome to the “ferocious four’s!” As children develop intellectually and emotionally for the coming kindergarten year, they can be the proverbial “handful.” What’s typical about a 4-year-old’s development and how adults can help children manage the many changes that come in this phase is described in this two-page downloadable, which explains:

  • Emotions and emotional control
  • Confusion about what’s real and what’s not
  • Why you hear “why?” so often
  • Developing self-esteem

Qwik sheet cost: $2.95
