Growth characteristics of children aged 4-5

The growth characteristics of 4/5-year-old children are mainly manifested in the development of intentional behavior, learning to control emotions, and the germination of rule consciousness.

Intentional behavior began to develop.

4-5-year-old children's intentional behavior in the group increases and their attention is concentrated. The time to concentrate on some activities is also longer than before, with small class 15 minutes and middle class 25 minutes. They can accept the instructions of adults and complete some tasks within their power.

Learn to control your emotions.

4. The emotions of 5-year-old children are more stable than those of 3-year-old children, and the proportion of their behaviors dominated by emotions is gradually decreasing, and they begin to learn to control their emotions. In the shopping mall, when I see my favorite toys, I don't want to buy them as noisy as when I was 2-3 years old. They can listen to the demands of adults and console themselves with words: "There are already many toys at home, so I won't buy them." In kindergarten, when there is an argument between peers, you can sometimes control your emotions and behaviors.

The consciousness of rules is budding.

In collective life, 4-and 5-year-old children not only begin to show self-confidence, but also have a sense of rules. They know how to queue up to wash their hands and take turns playing with toys. When getting along with people, they are very polite and take the initiative to say "thank you" and "sorry". At this time, the child's concept of right and wrong is still very vague. They only know that praise is a good thing and accusation is a bad thing. They know how to like praise, and they will be unhappy or embarrassed when they hear criticism.
