How They Grow in Kindergarten

Where They Are

The average five-year-old is enthusiastic, helpful, and conforming.  He:

  • Attempts only things he knows he can do.

  • Needs attention, affection, and praise.

  • Is energetic and fidgety.

  • Has a short attention span.

  • May show opposite extremes of behaviors.

  • May become less well-behaved as the school year progresses.

Where They're Going

At five years old, your child is learning to understand herself.  You can help by encouraging her as she:

  • Develops a positive, realistic self-image.

  • Learns to respect herself.

  • Begins to understand her own uniqueness.

  • Gains awareness of her feelings.

  • Learns to express feelings.

  • Learns how to participate in groups.

  • Begins to learn from her mistakes.
