What should a three-year-old child know?

Every child is the treasure of the family. Parents will spend a lot of time and energy on their children. Of course, they also hope that their children will grow up healthy and smart. In order to prevent their children from losing at the starting line, parents will choose suitable education for their children from an early age. In fact, the development speed of each child may be different, but generally speaking, a three-year-old child should have the following abilities.

What should a three-year-old child know?

First of all, I can eat by myself. A 3-year-old child can eat from his own bowl and can use a spoon to eat his favorite food. 3-year-old children can already choose their favorite foods.

Can urinate and defecate on his own. A 3-year-old child learns to wipe his butt in the most basic way. This is something you must know before going to kindergarten.

Can put on clothes, pants, shoes and hats, and can take care of himself in simple ways. Don't underestimate your baby. Let him do things on his own and he will do just as well as adults.

Can wash and brush their teeth. Wash your hands, face, feet, brush your teeth, and take a simple bath.

Can communicate at a basic level with children and adults. For example, he would let children younger than him control his own, chase children older than him, make requests to adults, etc.

Can do simple housework. A three-year-old child can sweep the floor, mop the floor, and dust. Of course, he can't do it as cleanly as an adult, but he can be guided.

Can put away his toys. Can drink water by himself.

【Senses and Learning】

As he approaches three, his toddler's improved attention and memory allow him to learn many new things. Now, with his reasoning abilities, he is also open to simple logic.

【Attention and Memory】

From the age of two and a half, toddlers' attention span improves rapidly. Whether he is playing with building blocks or playing games with his child, if something attracts him, he will still play his original game, but when he is very excited, he will still jump to something else.

Children between two and a half and three years old have good memory, especially for things that interest them. He remembers things from last month or even longer ago, and if you tell him you're going to give him ice cream tomorrow, he'll probably remember it the next morning.

Nearing the age of three, mainly because of his memory, he knows the names of many colors and may recognize a few simple words.

【Type and number】

By the time toddlers are two and a half years old, they already know the categories of objects, such as buildings, animals, and vehicles, and they can pair objects together, such as cups and cup holders, chairs and tables.

Learning to count is a complex matter involving many aspects, and evidence suggests that young children have some concept of numbers. A simple card experiment showed that they could tell the difference between two and three points. Other studies have shown that babies can do basic calculations. Perhaps special brain circuits are responsible for processing numbers, and the degree of development is related to genetics. No wonder children learn numbers and calculations at different speeds, and some children show "numerical mind" very early.

Learning to say numbers aloud varies among children, but starting at age 2 1/2, toddlers may be able to say numbers correctly and remember the sequence of Arabic numerals, such as "1, 2, 3," and repeat them. When he was almost three years old, he could probably count to five.

【Logic and Reasoning】

From the age of two and a half, a toddler's logical ability improves significantly; from the age of three, you can sometimes start to reason with him. When telling him to (or not to) do something, tell him why. Not only does he need a reason, he may be more cooperative in the future if he understands the logic behind the words.
