~~ BETTER CHILD PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT Remember when you cheered for your baby’s first steps? Now you're wondering if they'll ever sit still. The average four-year- old takes about 15 500 steps daily - that's over 11 km! No wonder you're exhausted. At this age, most children can: = Hop on one foot = Walk on their tip toes + Throw and catch balls = Climb the rungs of a ladder on a playground slide » Draw a person (with a head, arms, and legs) » Use child-safe scissors = Close buttons and zips on clothing COGNITIVE SKILLS Your child is starting to make sense of time. While they won't be reading clocks until around six or seven, they understand yesterday, today, and tomorrow. They can also: » Recognise numbers up to 10 » Name at least four colours = Remember and retell details from stories + Understand basic cause and effect (if | don't eat my veggies, | can’t have dessert) + Sort objects by shape, size, or colour » Identify similarities and differences (your cupcakes are good, but Nanna’s are better) » Begin understanding opposites (big/ small, hot/cold, fast/slow) WEIGHT AND HEIGHT A four-year-old typically weighs between 13.5 to 18 kg and stands about 94 to 107 cm tall. At age five, they may weigh around 15.5 to 20.5 kg and measure between 99 to 114 cm in height. Sometimes, development can be slower than expected, or you may notice something different about your child's growth pattern. If you have concerns, chat with your child’s paediatrician. SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT Your child will know between 1 500 and 2 500 words and chat in complete sentences. They're grasping grammar and starting to understand plurals (cats, dogs, toys) and possessives (Mom's bag, Dad's car keys). They enjoy making up silly rhymes and songs, which helps them develop phonics skills and sets the stage for early reading. This is also when children might start repeating “bad” words, especially if they've heard them a few times. Instead of overreacting, a calm response can help set boundaries. FUN FACT: IF YOU THOUGHT YOUR CHILD ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS AT AGE THREE, BRACE YOURSELF - STUDIES SHOW THIS AGE GROUP ASK AN AVERAGE OF 300 QUESTIONS A DAY.
