YOUR CHILD’S WORLD IS GETTING BIGGER AND BUSIER AS THEY LEARN HOW THEIR WORDS AND ACTIONS AFFECT OTHERS. EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL SKILL *» BETTER LIFE WRITING By six, most kids can write basic sentences. By seven, they start structuring their thoughts more clearly, creating short stories with a beginning, middle, and end. Their handwriting improves as their tripod pencil grip (thumb, index, and middle finger) becomes more refined. They also have better control when using rulers, erasers, and glue sticks. Top tip: Encourage your child to write in fun, low-pressure ways. A notebook or journal for jotting down thoughts, lists, and doodles can help build your child’s writing confidence. INDEPENDENCE If there was ever a perfect time to get your child involved in household chores, this is it! They actually want to help with cooking, cleaning, or fixing things. Helping with easy “grown-up” tasks like making their own bed, setting the table, or helping sort laundry, makes kids feel responsible and important. Top Tip: The goal isn’t perfection. That “cleaned” bathroom mirror your kiddo spent two seconds wiping might have more streaks than a drip painting. Still, it’s all part of building confidence and independence. SLEEPING According to the National Sleep Foundation, most kids in this age group function best with around 10-11 hours of sleep, although some may do fine with slightly less. Good to Know: Up to 15% of children sleepwalk at some point, peaking around this age. It's usually harmless but can be triggered by irregular sleep schedules or stress. If sleep issues persist and affect your child’s daytime behaviour, chat with your child's paediatrician.
