Know Your Child – 4 to 6 years

This language lesson is designed for parents to know their 4-6-year-old child with the help of activities.

Maria Montessori mentioned the 4-6-year-old children as the ‘Conscious Worker’ or hard worker. Children of this age group love to explore, spend time repeating things till they achieve perfection, and talk forever!

Tips to Remember Before Introducing any Activity:

1. Encourage and assist the child to participate in the activity on their own..
2. Make sure the material is appropriate for their age. Consider, for example, a smaller size cloth to wipe the floor.
3. Ensure that the activities are beneficial to their development
4. Analysis of the movements is crucial. For example, how the child should hold a jug to pour water.
5. Boost their confidence, and encourage them to choose and perform the activity or what they want to learn
6. Set rules, limits, and boundaries and Be Consistent. Let’s say the preferred time for the activity or area of the activity.
7. Let them practice the activities at specific intervals of time.
8. No activity is a waste. Children learn something with every activity.
9. Education is an essential part of life, guide the child in the right direction.
