The psychology of three-year-old children

Raising a child is a very complicated matter, so now many young couples are very cautious about having a baby, because giving birth to a baby is a very easy thing, but educating a baby is a long-term project. Parents must pay attention to their children's psychological education when raising them. The psychological acceptance ability of three-year-old children is very strong. Let's understand the psychological development of three-year-old babies.

1. What is the psychological development of a three and a half year old baby?

1. Strong curiosity and development of peer relationships

A 3.5-year-old baby has a strong interest in new objects, situations, and new problems. He can take seriously what adults teach him to do and has the desire to try to do it. Social interaction is no longer limited to the relationship between mothers and relatives, but has expanded to relationships with peers. They are willing to play with other children and are willing to take care of other people's affairs.

(ii) Thinking activities caused by behavior and action

A large number of observation studies have found that babies over 3 years old always do things first and then think, or think while doing things, and cannot think before doing things. When 3-year-old babies listen to stories, they like to perform actions while watching and acting, or watch and listen. These characteristics are manifestations that thinking activities and actions cannot be separated.

3. Behavior is controlled by emotions

The psychological activities of a 3-year-old baby are largely dominated by emotions, and he cannot control his behavior with reason. Things or activities that interest babies will stimulate their positive emotions, and with emotions, they will be motivated to engage in activities.

4. Love to imitate

After the age of 3, babies’ imitative nature is very prominent, and they mostly imitate some specific, external activities or actions. They feel that they have grown up and are capable, so what adults do or other people do will arouse their sense of novelty, and they want to try to imitate and learn.

2. Early childhood education focus for babies aged 3 and a half

1. Cultivate the baby's independent ability so that he can adapt to the collective life in kindergarten;

2. Let your baby learn to get along with other children and share fun;

3. Chat with your baby more often. You can ask him what interesting things happened in kindergarten today to exercise his language skills and memory.

Around the age of three is a critical period for a child's growth and development. Parents should pay attention to it and be able to understand the child's psychology and guide them correctly. If the guidance and education are good, the baby can have a good psychological development path, which is conducive to healthy growth in the future. On the contrary, it will affect the child's future, so parents must not be careless.
