Having the experience in working in a daycare facility has
been an awesome experience. In having
the chance to work with all of the different age groups; I feel that the three
year olds are probably my favorite age group to work with. They have such an imagination and you can
carry on a great conversation with them. They are such a fun age group to work
with.
You’ll
notice some big developmental changes within that year between your child from
the age of two to three years old. One of the major things you will see is
their language skills and the amount that it grows and develops within that
year. Their vocabulary grows and they are able to put together a sentence that
makes sense. You’ll love this as a parent because you will begin to see what
your child’s personality will be.
Another
thing you will notice is that your child will have a longer attention span and will
play with something for a longer period of time. At this age group they will
learn to block out other distractions and focus on what they are doing. At this age group they should be able to do
some fine motor skills such as putting more difficult puzzles together, and
knowing the concept of sorting pieces out.
This is
a wonderful age group for the children because this is the time they are
starting to develop friendships with each other. But you’ll notice that the
kids will say to each other , “I’m not going to be your friend,” this usually only
last for just for a little while because
they get upset, but they don’t stay mad for long. So don’t get offended if a
child says this to your child. It happens to everyone.
Another
really good thought is that by this time they are pretty much potty trained. They are usually going by themselves. You’ll
see that they still might have some accidents, it’s because they get too busy
playing and forget to go, and that’s ok. Having a three year old is a big
difference from having a two year old. They have come a long way in development
and are much more independent.
