Child development in 3 years

By the age of 3 your child becomes much more skilful, dexterous and independent than in the first years of his life. He no longer needs help in everything, he has successfully learned to sit, crawl, walk and run. Now comes the time of new knowledge and skills. So, what are the skills of three-year-olds? Let's find out!

The basic skills of children in 3 years include the following:

1. The development of a child in 3 years assumes knowledge of basic colors and geometric figures, objects of dishes, furniture, etc.
2. He already distinguishes between "big / small / medium", "far / near", groups objects by color and shape.
3. A more conscious communication with peers begins: joint games, including role-playing, the ability to exchange toys. But at the same time some children already show a desire to spend some time alone, which is perfectly normal for the child.
4. Children of this age usually have already mastered a tricycle and sled.
5. They know and fulfill basic hygiene requirements, including brushing their teeth.
6. Three-year-olds show extraordinary ingenuity and perseverance in their desires.

It should also be noted that none of the listed skills is 100% mandatory. In other words, each child can have only some of these skills at the specified age, and the rest can be mastered much later, which is due to the individuality of each person.

Norms of physical development of children 3 years

Self-service skills of the child are becoming more and more perfect: he can eat without help, and it is enough neat, dressed and undressed, knows how to use a handkerchief and napkin. Three-year-olds usually with pleasure provide the feasible assistance to parents and can fulfill an assignment of 2-3 actions (bring, put, move).

It should not be difficult to do two things at the same time (for example, clap your hands and stamp your foot). Also, the development of children 3-4 years implies the ability to keep the balance, standing on one foot, stepping on the steps, throwing and catching objects, jumping over obstacles.

Features of mental development of the child 3 years

Sensory development of children of 3 years is very emotional, because their sensations are unusually bright. This is due to a special stage in the development of sense organs, in particular, visual. For example, the child sees colors and shades much more clearly than at the age of 2, and can already differentiate them.

The rapid development of attention and memory of children, as well as their thinking. The latter is expressed mainly by effective methods (that is, the child solves the tasks posed only in the process of working with them), and verbal thinking is only being formed. Imagination of three-year-olds is very bright and stormy, the kid can easily transform into a hero of a fairy tale or his own imagination.

As for the development of speech in a child of 3 years, it is noticeably progressing. Complex sentences appear, and words already change in case and number. The child expresses his thoughts, feelings and desires in words. 3 years - the age of "why": most children have questions of cognitive nature about the environment. The child is able to easily remember short rhymes and songs, and in games he uses role-playing speech (speaks for himself and for the toys). Also, the kids begin to call themselves the pronoun "I", and not by name, as it was before.

By the age of 3 the child passes from infancy to childhood, he becomes a preschool child, begins to communicate with peers more, coming to the collective of a kindergarten. All this leaves its imprint on the level of development of the baby, encouraging him to learn new skills.
