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.

• 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.
