Get to Understand Your 4-Year-Old Boy!

Source pixabay.com

A 4-year-old boy is a reason for delight as well as concern for his parents. A delight for not having to continuously monitor him for long hours as, by this age, 4 – 5-year-old boys tend to become more independent and confident. Now they can play with their toys for longer periods and are also able to express their emotions quite randomly, including the ones for nature's call. Concern can be about their food and safety habits, their pre-schooling assignments, any allergic conditions they may be facing, and keeping an eye on then while they are playing in the playground or park.

This is the age when your child is learning and picking many new words every day, and his mind is like a sponge, soaking everything it comes across. He is curious, he is inquisitive, and he has a lot of questions, which at times may be a bit annoying, but you will get used to it. He is learning to speak more complicated sentences, colours, shapes, animals, names of other persons or his little friends, understanding the importance of time and order in terms of daily activities like breakfast in the morning, going to his pre-school and having his lunch after coming back, etc.

He also begins to better understand about using his body parts wisely, balancing and indulges in activities like climbing, running, throwing a ball, using a fork and spoon, and several other such activities. He also begins to draw shapes like triangle, square, circle and begins to understand the feelings of others. However, he would still be demanding and throw tantrums now and then for small things and would show his anger verbally (sometimes physically as well). This is also the time when a child begins to understand personal hygiene and some basic etiquette like greeting to elders and how to eat and drink on the dining table, etc.
