14 things to teach children from 3 to 4 years old

I know how to take a bath

It is a bit strange that your child cannot bathe himself at this age. If you did not let your child bathe himself at the previous age, you must do so at this age. Your child's body is private and needs to be respected. Parents can prepare a large basin of water in advance, instruct your child to take off his clothes and sit in the basin. After your child has finished bathing, he also needs to know how to dry himself and put on clean clothes. Parents also need to teach their child to clean up the basin, dirty clothes after bathing to form a good habit.

I know how to prepare a place to sleep and make the bed after waking up.

Many parents complain that their children, even in middle or high school, still throw their blankets and sheets around when they wake up. But why don’t parents teach their children properly from a young age? Parents need to teach their children to get their blankets and pillows ready for bed. Parents should do more difficult tasks like hanging mosquito nets (if necessary) for their children.

When waking up, parents also need to teach their children to clean up. The simplest way is for parents to clear a corner of the closet so that the children can fold the blankets and pillows and put them away in the corner of the closet. This way, the bed quickly becomes tidy without parents having to help at all.

I know how to clean the dishes and prepare meals.

When the family is preparing to eat, cleaning the table is very necessary. Children can take the bowls, clear the chopsticks and arrange the things on the table. Parents should help their children with hot soups or foods that are easy to break.

After dinner, parents often ask their children to clean up the dirty dishes and wipe the table. Children do this very well and they also like to do it to show that they are useful. Therefore, parents should remember to create conditions for their children to show off.

Flit

At this age, children are very agile. Sweeping the house with a broom may not be clean, but it still makes them very excited. Therefore, parents should create conditions for their children to practice.

Selecting clothes to wash

Families who use washing machines know that before washing clothes in the machine, the first thing to do is to sort the clothes. Light-colored clothes will be washed together and dark-colored clothes will be washed together. Not to mention, expensive clothes that cannot be washed in the machine must be kept separately.

Parents can teach their children to do this very well. Parents should dump the dirty clothes in the corner of the house and ask their children to help sort them, but do not let them near the washing machine. Children do not know how to use it and are often naughty. Many children have crawled into the washing machine to play, which is very dangerous.

Draw a picture

In fact, children do not like to color. But they really like to color. Instead of forcing children to color as they like, parents should buy their children a box of colors (cheap, easy-to-draw and easy-to-clean powder colors, parents can choose powder colors), a large A0 paper and let their children be creative.

Remember to dress your child in old clothes because they may get dirty. After your child finishes creating, parents should guide them to change clothes, clean up the drawing area, and clean the house if it gets dirty. The colored powder is easy to clean, parents can rest assured.

Listening to music

Children at this age should listen to a lot of music. Parents should not stop at children's songs. Children can listen to light, entertaining instrumental music. Letting your child listen to music and occasionally asking them what songs they like will also be a way for them to create their own musical taste and at the same time increase their ability to appreciate music.

Take your child to the museum

At this point, your child’s learning should stop at listening, seeing, touching and feeling. There are many things for your child to explore in museums. Parents should take their children to many of them.

Learn traffic laws

At school, the teacher has already taught the child. Parents should take their children out on the street and watch who is following the traffic law and who is breaking it. Then, go home with your child and open a book to find out what punishment those who break the law will receive if caught by the police. This is the best and most gentle way to learn the law for both children and parents.

Exercise

At this time, your baby's body has developed quite a bit, it's time for your baby to play sports. Parents should let their children practice a number of sports so that they can choose the one they like. When practicing, parents should remember to ensure their child's safety with protective equipment such as helmets and protective gloves if they are rollerblading.

Learn how to deal with dangerous situations

Parents should prepare for some situations and discuss escape plans with their children. This way of learning will help children a lot if they are unfortunately in a similar situation. Therefore, parents need to teach their children more.

Play puzzle

Building blocks will help your child a lot in improving his thinking ability, patience and calmness. Parents should buy age-appropriate blocks for their children and let them learn to be creative.

Creativity from simple discarded items

Parents should give their children big boxes and cartons and let them play with them. They will be very creative.

Sand play

Don’t forget this lesson, moms. Your child will learn a lot from sand. This is an extremely important lesson, so children need to play at least 1 hour a day from the age of 1 to 7. Parents remember to create conditions for their children to learn.
