three to four



Three year olds are usually fun to spend time
 
with.  Their understanding of "the world" and 

people is broader and they join into conversations
 
more readily.  Signs of empathy are beginning you
 
frequently see their care and concern for other
 
people.  Even though they know about sharing,

they aren't always willing to put it into practice! 

Their imitation of adults broadens so you need to
 
be more careful of what you say and do!!


Fears begin, "monsters",  "scary animals" and
 
"the dark" are the biggest fears at this age, so
