Living with two four-year-olds
What Age 4 is LikeGenerally speaking, you will have to look quick to see 4-year-olds since children this age are on the go. They spend a lot of time being loud and silly and persistent. Four-year-olds are working hard on their independence. Some shocking language may have crept into their vocabulary lately. The enthusiasm of this age comes through in endless talking, planning, remembering and very active imagining.
Physically a 4-year-old can pedal and steer wheeled toys, jump over small objects, throw a ball overhand, write some shapes and letters, and string small wooden beads.
Play time for this age is varied. They enjoy woodworking, clay, flannel boards with pictures, letters and numbers, and collage materials for creating their own art.
They enjoy some friends-only time with a minimum of adult supervision.
Strong feelings and fears may be acted out with dramatic play props such as doctor visits, fire emergencies and robbers.
Four-year-olds might be asked to put away their clean clothes, help fix a snack, put dirty clothes in the hamper or wipe up their own spills. Assign one task at a time and appreciate the effort even when the results are less than perfect.
