CARE ABOUT KIDS

Parents: A preschooler tends to think in terms of herself living in her own world, she may not realize that other people think and feel differently. She thinks a doll, even when facing in a direction different from hers, sees the same view that she sees. A 4-year-old can tell you what a plane looks like from the side (because that's how she has usually seen it in pictures) but not from other angles. Each time a child learns something, the information is stored in her memory. the mind sorts what has been learned and finds ways to use it. The older a child becomes, the longer she can store facts, lists, instructions, words, plans, images along with other information and ideas in her memory.MY WORD: Observing the growth of a child is as rewarding as reading an intriguing book or watching a dramatic film.
