Communication skills are very crucial. As they go out to school they will meet many different people. They are used to communicating with their parents but preschool is the place where they are able to communicate with teachers and other students. It is important to polish their communication skills. Talk to them, teach them new vocabulary, correct them when they do not use an appropriate word and don't laugh at them as it might hurt their confidence.

Another important skill is teamwork. They will be spending a good amount of time in school and will have to work with many different people. They should know who to work in a team. They will be taking part in group activities therefore you should encourage them to learn this skill. Start at home by making teams, distributing work among the team. It could be with their sibling or with either parent. Play games that encourage them to make teams like making puzzles, or an art project etc.

Teach them to be independent. This is the time when you teach them to do small tasks by themselves. At times we feel that the child will not be able to do a task by themselves or you can do a better job at it but let them try their hand in it. Let them get dressed by themselves, ask them to help you in the kitchen, lay the table before dinner, remove the dirty dishes, dust the living room, ask them to put their toys away and clean their room by themselves. It will help them to learn as well as feel the feeling of pride when they accomplish a task without your help.

Let them solve simple problems by themselves. If you see your children trying to reach over the fridge for his favorite cookie ask them to think how they can get there. Tell them to grab a stool and do it themselves rather than handing it to them. These are the times when you child is building his character and you need to know that you won't be with them all the time to help them out, they need to learn to do it themselves. Don't cheat them of the experience of success by doing everything for them.

We tend to get irritated when a child misbehaves and end up yelling at them. Most of the time we use a lot of negative words like doesn't hit, don't throw, etc. It is important to use a lot of positive words when working with children. Praise them; give them a hug or a kiss when they do something good. Appreciate them by saying thank you for being polite in front of the guests or you did well by sitting quietly while the adults were talking, etc.

Make sure you give your child simple chores around the house. It will keep them busy as well as teach them to be responsible. Ask them to water the plants, feed the pet or make their own bowl of cereal. It will help them to feel capable and let them feel like a contributing member of the family.

Kids love to have fun, therefore, try to make them responsible by turning their chores into fun. If you see him make a face when assigned a chore turn it into a game. For example, if you want him to put the shoes away ask him to be the shoe store manager and fix the shoes in the store.

We may think that the child does not have an ego but it is there; It is in a latent state and it develops as they grow older. Try patting him in the back when he does something good this will encourage him to do well the next time but do not over feed the ego as it will be destructive for him later in life.

No one likes to be ordered around. Our children also do not appreciate an authoritative tone all the time. You should talk to them in a loving manner if asking them to do something around the house. An authoritative tone leads to a lot of stress and can depress your kid. Be kind, gentle and loving when you speak to him. He will do the same with others.
