4 Year Visit: On Their Way

Self Control and Attention

Children's self control and attention vary with their temperament. Two hours a day of physical activity helps most children with both.

​

Lying

When your child tells a lie, acknowledge the feeling behind the lie. Then state what you believe really happened.

​

Emotions

Help your child develop a positive sense of self. Celebrate your child's strengths and accomplishments and avoid negative labels.

Safety: Firearms

All firearms should be stored locked. Ensure ammunition is stored separately.
